Problem 5: A professor tries to count the number of students attending lecture in person. For each student in the audience, the professor either counts the student accurately with probability p or misses the student in the count with probability (1 – p). The exact number of attending students is 20. (a) The number of students counted by the professor is a random variable N. What is the PMF of N?
