May is interested in purchasing the local hardware store in her hometown. After examining the store accounts for the past two years, she found that the store had been earning a gross amount of over $850 per day for 70% of the business days it was open. A random sample of n = 20 business days is selected from the last two years. Let X represent the number of days where the store earned over $850 gross. 1. If the value of p was 0.6, calculate P(X < 6) for a sample of n = 20. 2. Suggest a value of p that might mean that May would not have been surprised to find the store grossed over $850 for fewer than 6 business days, briefly explaining your answer.
