Assuming that 30% of randomly selected adults have high cholesterol (with a level at least 240 mg/dL or are taking medicine to reduce cholesterol), If we randomly select 5 adults at random, answer the following: a)  What is the probability that exactly 2 of the 5 adults have high cholesterol? Additionally, what is the probability that AT LEAST 1 of the 5 adults have high cholesterol? What is the probability that between 2 and 4,inclusive, of the 5 adults have high cholesterol? Additionally, find the mean and standard deviation for the number of adults in groups of 5 who have high cholesterol.
