## Educational Content: Understanding Binomial Distribution

**Binomial Distribution Overview:**
- **X ~ Binomial (n = __, p = __):** This represents a binomial distribution where `n` is the number of trials and `p` is the probability of success on each trial.

### Probability Distribution Table
For the random variable \( X \), representing the number of adults with no trouble sleeping, the probabilities are as follows:

| x  | P(x)         |
|----|--------------|
| 0  | 0.20971520   |
| 1  | 0.36700160   |
| 2  | 0.27525120   |
| 3  | 0.114668800  |
| 4  | 0.028267200  |
| 5  | 0.004300800  |
| 6  | 0.00035840   |
| 7  | 0.00001280   |

### Probability Histogram Explanation
- The histogram is a graphical depiction showing the probability \( P(x) \) on the y-axis against the number of adults with no trouble sleeping (x) on the x-axis. It represents discrete probabilities for each value of \( X \) from 0 to 7, reflecting how likely each scenario is.

### Questions and Calculations

c. **Probability that at least one has no trouble sleeping:**
   \[
   P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)
   \]

d. **Probability that at most 2 have no trouble sleeping:**
   \[
   P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
   \]

e. **Probability that more than 4 have no trouble sleeping:**
   \[
   P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7)
   \]

f. **Find \( \mu_X \) and \( \sigma_X \) for this distribution:**
   - **Mean (\( \mu_X \)):** The average expected number of successes.
   - **Standard Deviation (\( \sigma_X \)):** Measures the dispersion of the distribution.

**Interpretation:**
- \( \mu_X \) provides information on the expected average

Expert Solution
Step 1

[Note: Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.]

A probability histogram is a graph which shows the probability of each outcome on the y-axis and outcomes in the x-axis.

Here x denotes the outcomes and p(x) denotes the probabilities.
