The television show Pretty Betty has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 25, meaning that among the TV sets in use, 25% were tuned to Pretty Betty. Assume that an advertiser wants to verify that 25% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 14 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Pretty Betty broadcast.

a) Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Pretty Betty.
P(none) =   

b) Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Pretty Betty.
P(at least one) =   

c) Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Pretty Betty.
P(at most one) =   

d) If at most one household is tuned to Pretty Betty, does it appear that the 25% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Pretty Betty unusual?)  Use a value of 5% or lower for "unusual".
