If it is not a binomial experiment, explain why. selected from each of 12 bags. The random variable represents the number 11. Bags of milk chocolate M&M's contain 16% green candies. One candy is 12. A fair coin is tossed repeatedly until 15 heads are obtained. The random variable x counts the number of tosses. In Exercises 13-16, find the indicated binomial probabilities. If convenient, use technology or Table 2 in Appendix B. three. (Source: Gallup) want to lose weight is (a) exactly three, (b) at least three, and (c) 13. Fifty-three percent of U.S. adults want to lose weight. You randomly select eight U.S. adults. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who more than than two. (Source: Gallup) 14. Thirty-nine percent of U.S. adults have a gun in their home. You randomly have a gun in their home is (a) exactly two, (b) at least two, and (c) select 12 U.S. adults.

Find the probability that the number of U.S. adults who get news on social media sites is (a) exactly two, (b) at least two, your reasoning. In Exercises 17 and 18, (a) construct a binomial distribution, (b) graph the binomial distribution using a histogram and describe its shape, and (c) identify any values of the random variable x that you would consider unusual.

You randomly select five stay-at-home mothers and ask them whether they have a college degree or higher. The random variable represents the number of stay-at-home mothers who have a college degree or higher. (Source: 18. Eighty-eight percent of U.S. adults use the Internet.
