1. The probability that none of the 6 students have to wait for more than five minutes.
2. The probability that fewer than 2 students wait for more than five minutes.
3. The probability that either one or two students wait for more than five minutes.
PART B: If we wish to calculate probabilities relating to 100 students a new method is needed. Suggest and explain a suitable methond and explain the term 'Continuity correction.'
USE your method to calculate the following;
1. The probability that exactly 15 out of 100 wait for more than 5 minutes.
