A particular lake is known to be one of the best places to catch a certain type of fish. In this table, x = number of fish caught in a 6-hour period. The percentage data are the percentages of fishermen who caught x fish in a 6-hour period while fishing from shore. A) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches one or more fish in a 6-hour period. B) Find the probability that a fisherman selected at random fishing from shore catches two or more fish in a 6-hour period. C) Compute ?, the expected value of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round "at least 4" to 4). D) Compute ?, the standard deviation of the number of fish caught per fisherman in a 6-hour period (round "at least 4" to 4).
