A fair coin is tossed 500times,find the probability that the number of heads will not differ from 250 by (1)more than 10 (2)more than 30
------
Binomial Problem with n = 500 and p(heads) = 1/2
-----
P(240<= x <= 260) = binomcdf(500,1/2,260) - binomcdf(500,1/2,240) = 0.6284
==============================
P(220<= x <= 280) = same procedure
