4.18 Chicken pox, Part I. The National Vaccine Information Center estimates that 90% of Americans have had chickenpox by the time they reach adulthood. (a) Suppose we take a random sample of 100 American adults. Is the use of the binomial distribution appropriate for calculating the probability that exactly 97 out of 100 randomly sampled American adults had chickenpox during childhood? Explain. (b) Calculate the probability that exactly 97 out of 100 randomly sampled American adults had chickenpox during childhood. (c) What is the probability that exactly 3 out of a new sample of 100 American adults have not had chickenpox in their childhood? (d) What is the probability that at least 1 out of 10 randomly sampled American adults have had chickenpox? (e) What is the probability that at most 3 out of 10 randomly sampled American adults have not had chickenpox?

After careful research you observe that the number of hackers active on each day is a random variable Bin(3,0.5) distribution. If no hackers are active, the probability of the website failure is 0.15; If one hacker is active the probability of the website failure is 0.3; if two or more hackers are active the probability of the website failure is 0.5. You conclude that the total probability of website failure on a given day is two decimal place). Assuming there is a failure, the probability no hackers are active is (to (to two decimal places).
