Question
As in the previous problem, a fair coin is flipped 80 times. If X is the number of heads, then the distribution of X can be approximated with a normal distribution, N(40,4.5), where the mean (μ) is 40 and standard deviation (σ) is 4.5.
Using this approximation, find the probability of flipping 43, 44, or 45 heads. You may use the portion of the Standard Normal Table below. Round the final answer to two decimal places.
