1. Does this situation meet the binomial requirements? Why or why not? Address the five characteristics in the Key Points.
2. What is the random variable in this problem? i.e., what does X represent and what values can it have?)
3. What is the probability that exactly 4 have regular family dinner?
4. What is the probability that 5 or fewer have regular family dinner?
5. What is the probability that at least 2 have regular family dinner?
6. What is the probability that at most 5 have regular family dinner?
7. What is the mean number of adults out of a sample of 10 that you would expect to have regular family dinner? What is the standard deviation of the distribution?

Discrete Variable : Discrete variable is one that cannot take on all values within the limits of the variable.
Continuous Variable : Continuous variable is one for which, within the limits the variable ranges, any value is possible.
Label the following variables as discrete or continuous and explain why it is so, then verify at least one of the other postings.
a. The number of new accounts established by a salesperson in a year.
Answer
