8. In the production process of flower vases, it is known that on average, there are cracks on 25 flower vases in every 200 flower vases produced. (a) A random sample of 10 flower vases is selected. Find the probability that at most two flower vases having cracks. [4] (b) Determine the minimum number of flower vases to be chosen so that the probability that no flower vases having cracks is less than 0.1. [4] (c) By using a suitable approximation, find the probability that in a random sample of 100 flower vases. (i) less than 15 flower vases have cracks. [4] (ii) between 10 and 15 flower vases inclusive have cracks [3]
