Find the approximate $P(S>12)$. You may use the fact that a Uniform(0,1) has expected value $\frac{1}{2}$ and variance $\frac{1}{12}$.} \pagebreak %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item {\Large A multiple choice test has 50 questions with answers ABCD. If a student answers completely at random, what are the chances of getting 30\% or better? You may use the fact that a Bernoulli($p$) has expected value $p$ and variance $p(1-p)$.} \pagebreak %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \item {\large In a walk-in medical clinic, the time a doctor spends per patient (including paperwork) comes from an unfamiliar skewed distribution with mean 5.1 and standard deviation 4.8 minutes.
