(a) Using a suitable distribution for X, find

(i) P(X = 3)

(ii) P(X < 3)
(3)

Xian repeats this experiment each day for 60 days and records the number of days
when X = 3

(b) Find the probability that there were at least 12 days when X = 3
(3)

(c) Find an estimate for the total number of sixes that Xian will roll during these 60 days.
(1)
(d) Use a normal approximation to estimate the probability that Xian rolls a total of
more than 95 sixes during these 60 days.
