Question 6
Estimate the indicated probability by using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. A multiple choice test consists of 60 questions. Each question has 4 possible answers of which one is correct. If all answers are random guesses, estimate the probability of getting at least 20% correct.
