In studies for a medication, 10 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 718 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that (a) exactly 72 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (b) no more than 72 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (c) at least 87 patients will gain weight as a side effect. What does this result suggest? (a) P(72) = (Round to four decimal places as needed)
