Table 6: Distributions for Problem 10 11. Whether or not the local high school basketball team wins a game behaves as a binomial random variable. Assume that the team winning a game is considered a success. If the probability that the team wins a game is p = 0.55, then for a sample of n = 10 games, determine and write using correct notation: (a) The probability that the team wins between 6 and 8 games, inclusive, by using the binomial probability tables in the textbook. (b) The probability that the team wins exactly 5 games, using the binomial probability computing formula. (c) The mean and standard deviation of this binomial random variable.
