In studies for a medication, 13 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 449 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that
(a) exactly 71 patients will gain weight as a side effect.
(b) 71 or fewer patients will gain weight as a side effect.
(c) 77 or more patients will gain weight as a side effect.
(d) between 71and 80, inclusive, will gain weight as a side effect.
