The Baldwin Sisters from the Walton's TV series had a family recipe for moonshine (a strong, home-distilled alcoholic beverage)? Anyway, the Sister's made a slight modification in their father's recipe for moonshine. They conducted a test of taste preference between the new recipe and father's recipe. One hundred and thirty of the town folk participated in this moonshine taste test. Consider the following questions about binomial probability.
