a selective college would like to have an entering class of 1000 students. because not all students who are offered admission accept, the college admits more than 1000 students. past experience shows that about 83% of the students admitted will accept. the college decides to admit 1200 students. assuming that students make their decisions independently, the number who accept has the b(1200, 0.83) distribution. if this number is less than 1000, the college will admit students from its waiting list.
