One thousand independent rolls of a fair die will be made. Let X be the number
of times that the numbers 1 or 2 appear in the one thousand rolls. Compute an
approximation to P(300 ≤ X ≤ 400).
 
For a very large number, n, of trials, a binomial distribution (which this is: "success", rolling a one or a two, has probability 2/6= 1/3, "failure", rolling a three, four, five, or six, has probability 4/6= 2/3), with probability of success p, can be modeled by the normal distribution with mean np and standard deviation \(\displaystyle \sqrt{np(1- p)}\). If you were given a problem like this, surely you knew that?:wink:
