Problem 3

A population of size N=80000N=80000 has proportion p=0.45p=0.45 with a characteristic. A simple random sample of size n=600n=600 is taken. Approximate the probability that the sample contains at most x=260x=260 individuals with the characteristic, using the normal approximation with finite population correction and a continuity correction.
