1. You toss a coin 270 times. Find out the probability that exactly 135 of the 270 tosses will be heads.

2. About 4% of the scientists in National Academy of Sciences believe in PSI (parapsychology such as psychokinesis, telepathy, and astral projection). At the convention 144 members show up. Let X be the number of scientists at convention who believe in PSI. You might suppose for the following questions that X is binomially distributed with the parameters n=144 and p=0.04.
