Reference no: EM1311733

The Internal Revenue Service's uses a letter-opening machine to remove checks from envelopes. This machine has a probability p = 0.03 of failure for any envelope. On a certain day, n = 500, envelopes are independently handled by the machine. Let Y be the number of envelopes for which the machine fails to remove a check. Using the Central Limit Theorem to approximate P{Y≤10}.
