According to Harper’s index 55% of all federal inmates are serving time for drug dealing. A random sample of 20 federal inmates is selected. What is the probability that 8 or more are serving time for drug dealing? What is the probability that 2 or fewer are serving time for drug dealing? What is the expected number of inmates serving time for drug dealing?

Scores for a common standardized college aptitude test are normally distributed with a mean of 512 and a standard deviation of 111. Randomly selected men are given a Test Prepartion Course before taking this test. Assume, for sake of argument, that the test has no effect.
If 1 of the men is randomly selected, find the probability that
his score is at least 591.7.
P(X > 591.7) =
Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places.
If 7 of the men are randomly selected, find the probability that
their mean score is at least 591.7.
P(M > 591.7) =
Enter your answer as a number accurate to 4 decimal places.
If the random sample of 7 men does result in a mean score of 591.7, is there strong evidence to support the claim that the course is actually effective?
Yes. The probability indicates that is is unlikely that by chance,
a randomly selected group of students would get a mean as high as
591.7.
No. The probability indicates that is is possible by chance alone
to randomly select a group of students with a mean as high as
591.7.
