A music club is preparing for its regular concert this year. Based on past experience, the attendance rate among invited guests is 0.5. When 100 people are randomly selected from the invited guests,
$z$$\mathrm { P } ( 0 \leqq Z \leqq z )$
1.00.3413
1.20.3849
1.40.4192
1.60.4452

what is the probability that the attendance rate is at least 0.43 and at most 0.56, using the standard normal distribution table on the right? [4 points]
(1) 0.8041
(2) 0.7698
(3) 0.7605
(4) 0.7262
(5) 0.6826

For all $n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$ and all $k \in \llbracket 0 , n \rrbracket$, we set $x _ { n , k } = - \sqrt { n } + \frac { 2 k } { \sqrt { n } }$. The function $B _ { n } : \mathbb { R } \rightarrow \mathbb { R }$ is defined by $$\forall x \in ] - \infty , - \sqrt { n } - \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n } } [ , \quad B _ { n } ( x ) = 0$$ $$\forall k \in \llbracket 0 , n \rrbracket , \forall x \in \left[ x _ { n , k } - \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n } } , x _ { n , k } + \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n } } [ , \right. \quad B _ { n } ( x ) = \frac { \sqrt { n } } { 2 } \binom { n } { k } \frac { 1 } { 2 ^ { n } }$$ $$\forall x \in \left[ \sqrt { n } + \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { n } } , + \infty [ , \right. \quad B _ { n } ( x ) = 0$$ and $\Delta _ { n } = \sup _ { x \in \mathbb { R } } \left| B _ { n } ( x ) - \varphi ( x ) \right|$ where $\varphi ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 \pi } } \mathrm { e } ^ { - x ^ { 2 } / 2 }$.
Show that, for all $n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$, we have the equality $$\Delta _ { n } = \sup _ { x \geqslant 0 } \left| B _ { n } ( x ) - \varphi ( x ) \right| .$$

For all $n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$ and all $k \in \llbracket 0 , n \rrbracket$, we set $x _ { n , k } = - \sqrt { n } + \frac { 2 k } { \sqrt { n } }$. The function $B _ { n }$ is defined as in Q19, and $\varphi ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { 2 \pi } } \mathrm { e } ^ { - x ^ { 2 } / 2 }$. We fix $\varepsilon > 0$ and $\ell \in \mathbb{R}^+$ such that $\varphi(\ell) \leqslant \frac{\varepsilon}{2}$.
Show that there exists a natural number $n _ { 1 }$ such that, for all integers $n \geqslant n _ { 1 }$, $$\sup _ { x \in [ 0 , \ell ] } \left| B _ { n } ( x ) - \varphi ( x ) \right| \leqslant \frac { \varepsilon } { 2 }$$
