1)Among 10000 random digits find probability P that digit 3 appears at most 950 times.(area under normal between Z=0 and Z=1.67 is 0..4525)

2)A die is tossed 180 times .using normal distribution find probability that face 4 willnturn up atleat 35 times..(area under normal curve between Z=0 and z=1 is 0.3413)

answer for Q.1 = 0.0475
answer for Q.2 = 0.1587

1) $n = 10^4$ 
$p=\frac{1}{10}=0.1$ so, $q = 1-0.1 = 0.9$
mean = $\mu = np = 10^4 \times 0.1 = 10^3$ 
the standard deviation = $\sigma = \sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{10^4 \times 0.1 \times 0.9} = 30$
on converting it to standard normal distribution, we get : $$z = \frac{ X - \mu }{ \sigma } = \frac{950-1000}{30} = -\frac{5}{3} = -1.67$$

we are given area between $z=0$ and $z=1.67$


this area equals in value with the area between -1.67 and 0

+ the area outside -1.67 and +1.67, both separated areas shown below are EQUAL, due to symmetry in bell curve.

all together makes up 1
therefore, the required area which is, the area below $-1.67$

is given as $=\frac{1-2\times 0.4525}{2}=0.0475$

 

using the similar technique, for Q.2 we get:

the required area is :
