The American Community Survey is a survey that uses U.S. census
data to compile information on various characteristics of the U.S.
population. Here are statistics that I would like you to analyze
from a sample of states.
The independent variable (x-variable) is the percent of the
state population living below the poverty level. The dependent
variable (y-variable) is the state infant mortality rate in deaths
per 1000 births. The data is displayed in the following table:

Note: In this table, 7 actually represents households
of size 7 or greater. But for purposes of this exercise, assume
that it means only households of size exactly 7.)

According to a U.S. Census American Community Survey, 5.69% of
workers in Portland, Oregon, commute to work on their bicycles.
Find to 4 decimal places the probability that in a sample of 300
workers from Portland, Oregon, the number who commute to work on
their bicycles is 20 to 25.
