Ch.1 Binomial Distribution PDF

The document is a math exam with questions about the binomial distribution. The first question asks you to (a) calculate the size of a random sample (n) if the expected number of people with green eyes is 5, given that 4% of the population has green eyes. It also asks you to (b) find the standard deviation if the expected number in a second random sample is 3. The second question asks you to (a) use an appropriate approximation to estimate the probability of getting exactly 5 defective articles in a batch of 200, given a 2% defect rate, and (b) estimate the probability of getting less than 5 defective articles.
