Suppose that 53% of the population of U.S. voters favors a particular presidential candidate. If a random sample of 40 voters is chosen, approximate the probability that more than 21 favor this candidate. Use the normal approximation to the binomial with a correction for continuity. Round your answer to at least three decimal places. Do not round any intermediate steps.
