According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, 25.2 percent of males and 23.6 percent of females never eat breakfast. Suppose that random samples of 200 men and 200 women are chosen. Approximate the probability that
(a) at least 110 of these 400 people never eat breakfast;
(b) the number of the women who never eat breakfast is at least as large as the number of the men who never eat breakfast.
The number of people who enter a drugstore in a given hour is a Poisson random variable with parameter λ = 10. Compute the conditional probability that at most 3 men entered the drugstore, given that 10 women entered in that hour. What assumptions have you made?
