Recent research indicated that about 20% of children in a certain country are deficient in vitamin D. A company that sells vitamin D supplements tests 300 elementary school children in one area of the country. Use a Normal approximation to find the probability that no more than 52 of them have vitamin D deficiency. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
