Question 52

A large-scale ecological study on urban honeybee colonies indicates that 40% of hives survive a particularly harsh winter without human intervention. A researcher monitors a random sample of 20 hives in a specific district.

a.

Find the probability that exactly 7 of these hives survive.

[2]
b.

Find the probability that at least 4 of these hives survive.

[3]
c.

In a regional survey involving a larger sample of 150 hives, use a suitable approximation to determine the probability that the number of surviving hives is between 52 and 70 inclusive.
