It is known that 63% of all the ZeroCal hamburger patties produced by your factory actually contain more than 1,000 calories. Compute the probability distribution for n = 50 Bernoulli trials. (a) What is the most likely value for the number of burgers in a sample of 50 that contain more than 1,000 calories? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

(This is a introduction to statistics course) From past records, a department store finds that 70% of the people who enter the store will make a purchase on Black Friday. Suppose that 3 customers are randomly selected at the store, answer the following questions: 1) What is the chance that exactly one out of three customers make a purchase? Give your answer (%) rounded to one decimal place. (For example, if your answer is 0.5125 (51.25%), then it will be 51.3% after being rounded to one decimal place.) 2) Explain clearly.
