Solve the problem.
-In a certain population, 10% of people are left handed. Suppose that in calculating each of the probabilities
below, you use the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial but that you fail to use a continuity
correction. In which case will the resulting error be the greatest? In which case will the error be the least?
Explain your thinking. A: the probability that among 50 randomly selected people, at least 5 are left handed B: the probability that among 100 randomly selected people, more than 10 are left handed C: the probability that among 200 randomly selected people, at most 20 are left handed
