Suppose that a new treatment is successful in curing a common ailment 60% of the time. If the treatment is tried on a random sample of 110 patients, approximate the probability that at least 69 will be cured. 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. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) B S

A medical researcher says that less than 80% of adults in a certain country think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. In a random sample of 200 adults in that country, 76% think that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated. At α=0.05, is there enough evidence to support the researcher's claim? Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Let p be the population proportion of successes, where a success is an adult in the country who thinks that healthy children should be required to be vaccinated.
