With a sample size of n = 80
The proportion of successes in the population p = 0.44
The number of successes in the sample is X = 0.44*80 = 35
-----------------------------------------------------------
What is the Probabilty P(X < 40)
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(35.2*0.56) = 4.44
z(40) = (40-35.2)/[4.44/sqrt(80) = 9.669
----
P(X < 40) = P(z < 9.669) is approximately 1
