Suppose the number of children in a household has a
binomial distribution with parameters n=25 and
p=15%.
Find the probability of a household having:
(a) 1 or 24 children
(b) 22 or fewer children
(c) 12 or more children
(d) fewer than 24 children
(e) more than 22 children

An urn contains 4 marbles, either blue or green. The number of blue marbles is equally likely to be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Suppose we do 3 random draws with replacement, and the observed sequence is: blue, green, blue. What is the probability the urn contains just 1 blue marble?

It has been estimated that only about 40% (p = 0.4) of California residents have adequate earthquake supplies. Suppose you randomly survey 50 California residents. We are interested in the number who have adequate earthquake supplies. What is the probability that exactly 30 residents will have the needed supplies?
