For the first part:
You can use a binomial probability table, or calculate by hand using the following formula: P(x) = (nCx)(p^x)[q^(n-x)]
For the second part:
Use the binomial approximation to a normal distribution.
mean = np = 50 * .10 = ?
standard deviation = √npq = (√(50 * .10 * .90) = ?
Note: q = 1 - p
Finish the calculation.
I hope these few hints will help.
