almost black. If a population north of Geneva has 30% melanistic individuals, find the
following probabilities and expected values:
(a) A random sample of 18 has 4 melanistic squirrels.
(b) A random sample of 18 has 4 or less melanistic squirrels.
(c) A random sample of 18 has more than 4 melanistic squirrels.
(d) The expected mumber of melanistic squirrels in a random sample of 18 individuals.
(e) The expected variance for samples of size 18.
