Fourteen people apply for a teaching position in mathematics at a local college. Eight have a PhD and six have a master'sdegree. If the department chairperson selects five applicants at random for an interview. Then,a) write the formula for p(x), the probability distribution of the variable x, which indicates the number of people having aPhD;b) find the probability that 3 out of 5 people have a master degree;c) find the probability that the number of people having a PhD is at least 2 and at most 4;d) find the mean and the standard deviation associated to x.

As per Bartleby guidelines only three sub-parts can be answered. Kindly, resubmit for other parts.

Hurricane damage: In August and September 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused extraordinary flooding in New Orleans, Louisiana. Many homes were severely damaged or destroyed, and of those that survived, many required extensive cleaning. It was thought that cleaning of flood-damaged homes might present a health hazard due to the large amounts of mold present in many of the homes. In a sample of 364 residents of Orleans Parish who had participated in cleaning of one or more homes, 72 had experienced symptoms of wheezing, and in a sample of 184 residents who had not participated in cleaning, 23 reported wheezing symptoms (numbers read from a graph). Can you conclude that the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms is greater among those who participated in the cleaning of flood-damaged homes? Let p, denote the proportion of residents with wheezing symptoms who had cleaned flood-damaged homes, and let p, be the population proportion with wheezing symptoms who did not…
