Constructing and Graphing Binomial Distributions In Exercises 27-30, (a) construct a binomial distribution, (b) graph the binomial distribution using a histogram and describe its shape, and (c) identify any values of the random variable x that you would consider unusual. Explain your reasoning. 27. 29. Working Mothers Forty-nine percent of working mothers do not have enough money to cover their health insurance deductibles. You randomly select seven working mothers and ask them whether they have enough money to cover their health insurance deductibles.
