Suppose that the probability that a certain experiment will be successful is 0.4, and let X denote the number of successes that are obtained in 15 independent performances of the experiment. Use the table of the binomial distribution given at the end of this book to determine the value of Pr(6 ≤ X ≤ 9).
Distribution The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...

Researchers for a manufacturer of barometers (devices to measure atmospheric pressure) read each of 50 barometers at the same time of day. The mean of the readings is 30.4 (inches of mercury) with a standard deviation of 0.23 inch, and the readings appear to be normally distributed. a. What...
Suppose that a fair coin (probability of heads equals 1/2) is tossed independently 10 times. Use the table of the binomial distribution given at the end of this book to find the probability that strictly more heads are obtained than tails.
A coin for which the probability of heads is 0.6 is tossed nine times. Use the table of the binomial distribution given at the end of this book to find the probability of obtaining an even number of heads.
