The proportionof the sample who think that the overall safety of airline travelis either good or excellent will vary if we take many samples fromthis same population.

(Round your answers to threedecimal places.)

(a)What is the probability that the poll gets a sample in whichmore than 74.4% of the people think that the overall safety ofairline travel is either good or excellent?
