1 ) If a flight is on time 90% of the time, use a normal approximation to the binomial to find the probability that between 175 and 190 out of a total of 200 flights will be on time.

2)- In a study done by Statistics Weekly, they found that 12% of people believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse. Suppose we have a random sample of 500, would it be unusual to find 43 people who believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse. Would it be unusual to find 70 people who believe that there will eventually be a zombie apocalypse?

3-)  The age at the time of marriage was obtained for a random sample of 10 women. The results were 28, 24, 22, 25, 33, 35, 27, 26, 27, 20. Assume that the population has a normal distribution. Find a 90% confidence interval for the mean age at which a woman marries. Interpret your answer.

A certain flight arrives on time 90 percent of the time. Suppose 185 flights are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that ​(a) exactly 170 flights are on time. ​(b) at least 170 flights are on time. ​(c) fewer than 174 flights are on time. ​(d) between 174 and 178​, inclusive are on time.
