A university's mathematics department has designed an extension program to encouragenew undergraduate students to pursue careers in mathematics. The program consists ofadditional advanced classes that focus on the various applications of mathematics indifferent industries. To determine which students will be invited to this extensionprogram, new undergraduate mathematics students are all required to take an'entrance" exam. Any student that scores higher than 80 on the exam will be invited tothe extension program. Suppose that scores in this entrance exam are normallydistributed with mean 61 and variance 256. Assume that scores are independent fromstudent to student.in a random sample of 12 new undergraduate mathematics students who took theentrance exam, find the probability that more than 2 will be invited to the extensionprogram.
