On any occasion when a particular gymnast performs a certain routine, the probability that she will
perform it correctly is 0.65, independently of all other occasions.
(i) Find the probability that she will perform the routine correctly on exactly 5 occasions out of 7.
[2]
(ii) On one day she performs the routine 50 times. Use a suitable approximation to estimate the
probability that she will perform the routine correctly on fewer than 29 occasions. [5]
(iii) On another day she performs the routine n times. Find the smallest value of n for which the
expected number of correct performances is at least 8. [2]
