Chapter 5.2, Problem 25P
In each of the following problems, the binomial distribution will be used. Answers may vary slightly depending on whether the binomial distribution formula, the binomial distribution table, or distribution results from a calculator or computer are used. Please answer the following questions and then complete the problem.
What makes up a trial? What is a success? What is a failure?
What are the values of n, p, and q?
Business Ethics: Privacy According to the same poll quoted in Problem 24, 53% of adults are concerned that Social Security numbers are used for general identification. For a group of eight adults selected at random, we used Minitab to generate the binomial

Binomial).
Find the probability that out of eight adults selected at random,
- (a) at most five are concerned about Social Security numbers being used for identification. Do the problem by adding the probabilities P(r = 0) through P(r = 5). Is this the same as the cumulative probability P(r ≤ 5)?
- (b) more than five are concerned about Social Security numbers being used for identification. First, do the problem by adding the probabilities P(r = 6) through P(r = 8). Then do the problem by subtracting the cumulative probability P(r ≤ 5) from 1. Do you get the same results?

Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include:
Mileage (mpg)
Number of Cylinders (cyl)
Displacement (disp)
Horsepower (hp)
Research: Google to understand these variables.
Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp

Median
First Quartile (Q1)
Second Quartile (Q2)
Third Quartile (Q3)
Fourth Quartile (Q4)

Document Your Results:
In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command”
In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document. Make sure that snapshots are very clear. You will need multiple snapshots. Also transfer these results to the…
