Use Table I of Appendix D to calculate the following
Chapter 15, Problem 3E(choose chapter or problem)
Use Table I of Appendix D to calculate the following binomial probabilities:
a. \(P(x \geq 7)\) when n = 8 and p = .5
b. \(P(x \geq 5)\) when n = 8 and p = .5
c. \(P(x \geq 8)\) when n = 8 and p = .5
d. \(P(x \geq 10)\) when n = 15 and p = .5. Also use the normal approximation to calculate this probability and then compare the approximation with the exact value.
e. \(P(x \geq 15)\) when n = 25 and p = .5. Also use the normal approximation to calculate this probability and then compare the approximation with the exact value.
