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. Suppose that on a given day a fleet of fishing
boats got a total of 24strikes. Find the following probabilities.
(Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) 12 or fewer fish were caught
(b) 5 or more fish were caught
(c) between 5 and 12 fish were caught
