Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution with the continuity correction
to do this problem.
The manufacturing of semiconductor chips produces 2% defective chips. Assume the
chips are independent and that a lot contains 1000 chips. Approximate the probability that
more than 25 chips are defective.
µ = 1000(.02) = 20
! = 1000(.02)(.98) = 4.427
25.5 " 20 &

P(X > 25) = P % Z >

or normalcdf(25.5,10^99,20,4.427)=.1071
