It turns out that 500 of these customers are dissatisfied with the product. Fifteen individuals are randomly sampled from the 2000 customers and questioned about the package. Let the random variable X be the number of dissatisfied customers in this sample. (a) What kind of probability distribution does X have? (b) Find the expected number of dissatisfied customers in the sample. (c) Set up the calculations needed to find P[X > 3] exactly (don't work it out). (d) Use the binomial distribution to show that P[X > 3] is approximately equal to 0.5387
