In a certain school, 30% of the students are in the age group 16 – 19.a. Ten students are chosen at random. What is the probability that fewer than four ofthem are in the 16 – 19 age group?b. If the ten students were chosen by picking ten who were sitting together at lunch,explain why binomial distribution might no longer have been suitable?
