1) Consider the discrete probability distribution to the right when answering the following question. Find the probability that x exceeds 4.
A) 0.97
b) 0.39
c) 0.58
D) 0.61
2)
The on-line access computer service industry is growing at an extraordinary rate. Current estimates suggest that 15% of people with home-based computers have access to on-line services. Suppose that 12 people with home-based computers were randomly and independently sampled. What is the probability that at least 1 of those sampled have access to on-line services at home?

Find the expected value of the random variable. Round to the
nearest cent unless stated otherwise.
In a game, you have a probability of 1/50 winning 106$
and a 49/50 probability of losing 3$. What is your expected
value?

Thank you!!!!
Solution:
Question 1 can not be answered as you have not attached the probability distribution for this question.
Question 2:
We are given:
We are required to find
Using the complementary law of probability, we have:
Now using the binomial distribution formula, we have:
Therefore, the probability that at least 1 of those sampled have access to on-line services at home is 0.8578
3)
Find the expected value of the random variable. Round to the
nearest cent unless stated otherwise.
In a game, you have a probability of 1/50 winning 106$
and a 49/50 probability of losing 3$. What is your expected
value?
Answer: The expected value is:
Therefore, the correct answer is -$0.82
