C. 0.9928

2. We want to take a sample of 100 items out of a large batch for quality control purposes. Based on past history, the proportion of defective items is 4%. Can we use the Normal approximation to the binomial distribution to find the probability of finding more than 5 defective items in the sample of 100?

A. Yes, because n is large.
B. No
C. We do not have enough information.

3. If I select a random sample of 20 items from a large batch in which there are 5% defective items, what is the chance I find at most two defectives in the sample?
