In a certain population, 20% of the people are left-handed.
(a) A random sample of size 50 is drawn from this population. LetXrepresent
the number of left-handed people in the sample. Use the central limit theorem
to approximate:
i. Pr[12X20]
ii. Pr[12X20]
(b) Use Table A.2 in the Appendix to find the exact probabilities.
(c) Considering your answers to (a) and (b), mention a possible shortcoming of
the central limit theorem when it is applied to a discrete random variable.
