Estimate the indicated probability by using the normal distribution as an approximation of the binomial distribution. A multiple choice test consists of 60 questions. Each question has 4 possible answers of which one is correct. If all the answers are random guesses, calculate the probability of obtaining at least 20% of correct answers.

Assume that a sample is used to estimate a mu population mean. Use the confidence level and sample data to find the margin of error. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample and the population has a normal distribution. Round your answer to one decimal more than the standard deviation of the sample. 95% confidence, n = 21; sigma = 0.16

the percent of the area under the curve of the standard normal distribution in the range ± 2

Ans: Remember this:

In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within a band around the mean in a normal distribution with a width of two, four and six standard deviations, respectively; more accurately, 68.27%, 95.45% and 99.73% of the values lie within one, two and three standard deviations.

So, 68%
