The researcher states that p = 0.48 that a student will have a bad dream during the week. (a) What type of probability distribution is appropriate for these data? bimodal distribution, positively skewed distribution, negatively skewed distribution, binomial distribution. (b) If a professor has 50 students in his class, then how many students should he expect to have bad dreams during the week? (c) Assuming complementary outcomes, what is the probability (q) that a student will have a good dream? .
