Question

Apollotarian is a person who eatš poultry but no red meat. A wedding planner does some research and finds that approximately 3.5% of the people in the area where a large wedding is to be held are pollotarian. Treat the 300 guests expected at the wedding as a simple random sample from the local population of about 200,000. Suppose the wedding planner assumes that only 3% of the guests will be pollotarian so she orders 9 pollotarian meals. What is the approximate probability that she will have too many pollotarian meals? Round to the nearest thousandth.
