<PRE><B>Question 719122</B>
In a survey, 85% of the voters support a particular referendum. 
If 40 voters are chosen at random, and X is the number of voters 
that support this referendum, find the standard deviation X.
-------
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(40*0.85*0.15) = 2.26
---------------------------------------------------- 
Draw a graph showing the probability distribution for the sample 
space for tossing four coins.
4 heads::: 4C4/16 = 1/16
3 heads::: 4C3/16 = 4/16 
2 heads::: 4C2/16 = 6/16
1 head:::: 4C1/16 = 4/16
0 heads::: 4C0/16 = 1/16
=========================

On a Saturday evening, 34% of the people in Chicago go out to dinner, 18% see a movie, 13% have a party, and 35% stay home. Seventeen people are randomly selected. Can the probability that exactly 4 of them stay home be computed using binomial model?
-----
Binomial?? No
The probability for each of the 17 is not the same.
