Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
A-1
B- .061 which were correct
For C I got .00257 which was wrong. I just don't understand how I'm supposed to find at least 5 when I don't know the total number since for finding .00257 I used n=20 which I guess I wasn't supposed to since I got it wrong
