Problem

On any given day, Cooper either wears a blue jumper or he wears a green jumper or he does not wear a jumper. The probability that he wears a blue jumper is 0.6 and the probability that he wears a green jumper is 0.3. Whether Cooper wears a jumper of either colour, or does not wear a jumper, on any day is independent of his choice on any other day. a. Find the probability, that in a week (7 days), Cooper wears a blue jumper on at least 5 days. b. Use a suitable approximation to find the probability that, in any 150-day period, Cooper does not wear a jumper on fewer than 22 days.
