Answer

$0.51$

Work Step by Step

Write the equation for standard normal curve. $P(a \leq Z\leq b)=\int_a^b \exp(\dfrac{-t^2}{2}) \ dt$ where, $Z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ For binomial distribution, we have: $\sigma=\sqrt{npq}=\sqrt {100 \times \dfrac{1}{6} \times \dfrac{5}{6}}=3.7268$ and $\mu=np=100 \times \dfrac{1}{6}=16.667$ Plug in the above equation the given values to obtain: $P(\dfrac{10-16.667}{3.7268}-0.5 \leq Z \leq \dfrac{15-16.667}{3.7268}+0.5 )=0.51$
