On average, 2 apples out of 15 are classified as being underweight. Find the probability that in a random sample of 200 apples, the number of apples which are underweight is more than 21 and less than 35.
Solution
The probability of an apple being underweight is given by \(p = \frac{2}{15}\).
For a sample of 200 apples, the mean \(\mu\) and variance \(\sigma^2\) are calculated as follows:
