Use the following information to answer the question. A pescatarian is a person who eats fish and seafood but no other animal. An event planner does some research and finds that approximately 2.75% of the people in the area where a large event is to be held are pescatarian. Treat the 250 guests expected at the event as a simple random sample from the local population of about 150,000.
-Suppose the event planner assumes that only 1.6% of the guests will be pescatarian so he orders 4 pescatarian meals. What is the approximate probability that he will have too many pescatarian meals? Round to the nearest thousandth.
A)0.387
B)0.113
C)0.613
D)0.245
