In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal distribution to estimate the requested probabilities.

Do you try to pad an insurance claim to cover your deductible? About 39% of all U.S. adults will try to pad their insurance claims! Suppose that you are the director of an insurance adjustment office. Your office has just received 124 insurance claims to be processed in the next few days. Find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(b) fewer than 45 of the claims have been padded


(c) from 40 to 64 of the claims have been padded


(d) more than 80 of the claims have not been padded

In the following problem, check that it is appropriate to use the normal approximation to the binomial. Then use the normal distribution to estimate the requested probabilities.

Ocean fishing for billfish is very popular in the Cozumel region of Mexico. In the Cozumel region about 42% of strikes (while trolling) resulted in a catch.

(a) 12 or fewer fish were caught


(b) 5 or more fish were caught


(c) between 5 and 12 fish were caught
