Using Normal Approximation. In Exercises 5–8, do the following: If the requirements of np ≥ 5 and nq are both satisfied, estimate the indicated probability by using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution; if np ≤ 5 or nq < 5, then state that the normal approximation should not be used.
Births of Boys with n= = 8 births and p = 0.512 for a boy, find p (exactly 5 boys).
Using the Central Limit Theorem. In Exercises 5–8, assume that females have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of 74.0 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 12.5 beats per minute (based on Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B).
a. If 1 adult female is randomly selected, find the probability that her pulse rate is greater than 70 beats per minute.
b. If 25 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have pulse rates with a mean greater than 70 beats per minute.
