1. Many fire stations handle emergency calls for medical assistance as well as those requesting firefighting equipment. A particular station says that the probability that an incoming call is for medical assistance is 0.72. This can expressed as P(call is for medical assistance) = 0.72. Assume each call is independent of other calls. a) Interpret the probability that an incoming call is for medical assistance. b) What is the probability that none of the next four calls are for medical assistance. c) You want to estimate the probability that exactly three of the next four calls are for medical assistance. Describe how you would use the table of random digits to simulate this probability. (Remember that after reaching 4 different numbers, check for exactly 3 calls for medical assistance, then repeat)
