    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability (no crash) = 66% = 0.66

    Average (no crash) expected out of 152 computers = 0.66 (152) = 100.32

    Standard deviation 's' = √ [ (154) (0.66) (1-0.66) ] = √ (154) (0.66) (0.34)

    = √ 34.5576 = 5.87

    P (x > 96) = 1 - P (x < 95)

    z = (x - u) / s; x = sample mean = 95.5 (continuity correction factor = 0.5), u = population average = 100.32

    z = (95.5 - 100.32) / 5.87 = 4.82 / 5.87 = 0.82

    P (x < 95) = P (z < 0.82) = 0.7939

    P (x > 96) = 1 - 0.7939 = 0.2061
