**Title: Understanding Probability with a Real-World Example**In 1996, McDonald's estimated that 10% of all American workers had worked at McDonald's at one point in their career [source: Business Insider]. Assume that 6 American workers are randomly selected, and that this can be modeled as a binomial distribution.**Problem Statement:**What is the probability that exactly 2 out of the 6 workers have worked at McDonald's?**Discussion:**This problem requires the use of binomial distribution, which is suitable for scenarios with two possible outcomes (e.g., worked at McDonald's or not). The binomial distribution can model the number of successful outcomes in a set number of trials.Here, the probability of success (a worker having worked at McDonald's) is 0.1, and we're interested in finding the probability of exactly 2 successes (workers) out of 6 trials. The formula to determine this is:\[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} \cdot p^k \cdot (1-p)^{n-k} \]Where:- \( n \) = total number of trials (6 workers)- \( k \) = number of successes we’re interested in (2 workers)- \( p \) = probability of success on a single trial (0.1)- \(\binom{n}{k}\) = binomial coefficientThis type of calculation is common in statistics to determine likelihoods in various real-world scenarios.

Let "X" be the American workers who worded at McDonald.

Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?
