Suppose that 10% of all steel shafts produced by a certain                        process are nonconforming but can be reworked(rather                        than having to be scrapped). Consider a random sample of                  200 shafts, and let X denote the number among these that                    are nonconfirming and can be reworked. What is the              (approximate) probability that X is a. At most 30? b. Less than 30? c. Between 15 and 25 (inclusive)?
