National surveys indicate that 36% of people have been in a car accident in the last 5 years. If you randomly sample 10 people, how likely is that exactly 4 have had an accident in the last 5 years?

Unusual Events In Exercises 37 and 38, find the indicated probabilities. Then determine if the event is unusual. Explain your reasoning.

Rock-Paper-Scissors The probability of winning a game of rock-paper-scissors is 1/3. You play nine games of rock-paper-scissors. Find the probability that the number of games you win is (b) more than five

Constructing and Graphing Discrete Probability Distributions In Exercises 19 and 20, (a) construct a probability distribution, and (b) graph the probability distribution using a histogram and describe its shape.

Televisions The number of high-definition (HD) televisions per household in a small town

A basketball player normally has a 70% chance of making a free throw. The player shoots until finally making a basket, where $x$ is the number of shots they take. Is this a binomial experiment?

You take a 6-question quiz with True/False questions. What is the probability of getting all 6 questions correct by simply guessing?

Based on historical weather data in a certain city, about 62% of the days are cloudy. Find the mean, standard deviation, and variance for the number of cloudy days in a 30-day month.

A gardener plants 8 seeds, and each has a 65% probability of germinating successfully. Find the probability that less than 4 seeds germinate successfully.

Texting and Driving. In Exercises 21–26, refer to the accompanying table, which describes probabilities for groups of five drivers. The random variable x is the number of drivers in a group who say that they text while driving (based on data from an Arity survey of drivers).

Range Rule of Thumb for Significant Events Use the range rule of thumb to determine whether 4 is a significantly high number of drivers who say that they text while driving.

Texting and Driving. In Exercises 21–26, refer to the accompanying table, which describes probabilities for groups of five drivers. The random variable x is the number of drivers in a group who say that they text while driving (based on data from an Arity survey of drivers).

Using Probabilities for Significant Events

a. Find the probability of getting exactly 3 drivers who say that they text while driving.
