The company claims that 97 out of 100 people cannot detect a difference. taste between the new and old oils. Assuming that this figure is correct (as a long-run proportion), what is the approximate probability that in a random sample of 1000 individuals who have purchased fries at McDonald's, USE SALT (a) At least 34 can taste the difference between the two oils? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) At most 5% can taste the difference between the two oils? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
