Each sample of water has a 10% chance of containing a particular organic pollutant. Assume that the samples are independent with regard to the presence of the pollutant. Find the probability that in the next 15 samples:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)Exactly 2 contain the pollutant.At least three samples contain the pollutant.Determine the probability that the number of pollutants is between 1 and 3, inclusive.Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the probability distribution function.

Let X be the random variable from binomial distribution with probability (p) = 10% = 0.10 and sample…
