suppose 1000 coins are tossed. find the probability of getting the following result.
exactly 505 heads or more?
use the normal curve approximation to the binomial distribution (round to 4 decimal places
------------------------------------
mean = (1/2)1000 = 500
std = sqrt(1/2*500) = sqrt(250) = 15.81
------
P(504.5 < x < 505.5) = normalcdf(504.5,505.5,500,sqrt(250)) = 0.0240
