a) Nancy    

Express your answer as decimal rounded to 1 decimal place

Q10. b) Bob

Express your answer as a decimal rounded to 1 decimal place.

Q11. c) Mary

Express your answer as a decimal rounded to 1 decimal place.

Q12. Choose whether the following statement is true or false: 
The function F (X) =5-X/ 10 FOR X= 1, 2, 3, 4 can serve as a discrete probability distribution.

a) True
b) False

Q13. Compute the mean of the function in question 12.

Q14. Compute the standard deviation of the function in question 12.

Q15. Use the binomial distribution to find the probability that five rolls of a fair die will show exactly two threes. Express your answer as a decimal rounded to 1 decimal place.

Q16. At the terminal of a certain airline, records disclose that 10% of their flights arrive early, 70% arrive on time, 12% arrive somewhat late, and 8% arrive very late. Use the formula for the multinomial distribution to determine the probability that in six randomly selected flights, one will arrive early, three will arrive on time, two will be somewhat late, and none will be very late. Express your answer as a decimal rounded to 2 decimal places. 

Q17. Among 15 applicants for sales positions in a corporation, 8 have college degrees and 7 do not have college degrees. If 4 are randomly selected for interviews, use the hypergeometric distribution to find the probability that all have college degrees.
