statistics
Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution. First find mean and standard deviation. mean = np = (600)(.21) = ? standard deviation = √npq = √(600)(.21)(.79) = ? Note: q = 1 - p I'll let you finish the calculations. Next take .24 times 600...

Calculus
a.) Given that f(3)=5 and f'(x)=x/((x^3)+3), find the linear approximation of f(x) at x=3. b.)If the linear approximation is used to estimate the value of f(2.9), will it be an overestimation or underestimation? Show justification
