Answer and explanation:

A. What is the probability that more than half of the sample of 100 computers would need warranty service?

What is the probability that more than half of the sample of 100 computers would not need warranty service?

What is the probability that out of sample of 100 more than 20% would require warranty service?

B. If our sample of 100 computers of that brand and model reveals that 30 computers need warranty service, does this give a valid conclusion that all such computers in the population would require about 30% warranty service or less?
