Consider the binomial random variable x with n = 50 and p = 0.5 . Suppose we want to use a normal approximation to find the probability of at least 30 successes. A reasonable approximation would be obtained by computing:
 a. P(29.5 < x < 30.5).
  b. P(x < 30.5)
  c. P(x > 29.5)
  d. P(59.5 < x < 100.5)

Question 2

The normal distribution provides a reasonable approximation to a binomial probability distribution whenever the values of np and nq both equal or exceed 5 .
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made.

ACTH levels are normally highest in the early morning (between 6 and 8 A.M.) and lowest in the evening (between 6 and 11 P.M.). Therefore, a doctor who suspects abnormal levels looks for low ACTH in the morning and high ACTH in the evening.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
