A) A sample of 150 is drawn from a population with a proportion equal to 0.40. Determine the probability of observing between 49 and 54 successes.

​P(Observing between 49 and 54 ​successes)equals=

Note :

49 success in turns of proportion = 49/150 = 0.3267

54 success in turns of proportion = 54/150 = 0.36
