Suppose you model a game of chance with a discrete probability distribution. Let X be the net amount of money or lost by the player. Let pX be the probability of the corresponding outcome. The three events are as follows: There is a 23% chance the player wins 7 dollars. there is a 38% chance the player loses 4 dollars. there is a 39% chance the player breaks even. COMPLETE THE TABLE BELOW TO MODEL THE SCENARIO X PX)
suppose we select an SRS of 1010 adults. If it is believed that 60% of all adults are very satisfied with their lives, what is the probability that at least 610 adults in our sample are very satisfied with their lives?Let X be the number (out of 1010) of adults who are very satisfied with their lives. What distribution should X have? Why?

C. Hail Mary Shot - A Hail Mary shot is a shot thrown from a place far away from the basket. Since it is far, people say you need to pray or hail Mary to make it. Based on Piel's records, 2 out of 500 hail Mary shots made by all players in the league went in. To know the chances of Piel witnessing a hail Mary shot, distribution should be used with average rate of occurrence equal to With this, the probability that Piel will never witness a hail Mary shot in the game is
