Question

Uncle Henry has been having trouble keeping his weight constant. In fact, during each week, his weight changes from the beginning of the week to the end of the week by a random amount, uniformly distributed between -0.5 and 0.5 pounds. Assuming that his weight change during any given week is independent of his weight change during any other week, approximate the probability that at the end of 50 weeks Uncle Henry will have had a net change in weight of at least +3 pounds.
