Question

A particular lake is known to be one of the best places to catch a certain type of fish. In this table, x = number of fish caught in a 6-hour period. The percentage data are the percentages of fishermen who caught x fish in a 6-hour period while fishing from shore.

x 0 1 2 3 4 or more
% 43% 35% 15% 6% 1%

b)

 Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period. (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.

(c)

 Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches two or more fish in a 6-hour period. (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

 d) Compute μ, the expected value of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round 4 or more to 4). (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
μ =  fish

e) Compute σ, the standard deviation of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round 4 or more to 4). (Enter a number. Round your answer to three decimal places.)
σ =  fish
