  Please work on the following textbook exercises in Moore/McCabe/Craig:
  
  
  • Exercise 5.5 (p.319), 5.11, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15, 5.20 (0.5 point each)
    
    
  Use at least two approaches (if possible) when answering a numerical question, i.e., (i) work with Table C (in the Appendix of the textbook), (ii) manually apply the formulas for factorials, binomial coefficients, and the binomial probability formula, or (iii) use the applet that is accessible via the online pages of our textbook by following/selecting CrunchIt (for IPS6e) -> Statistics -> Distribution Calculator -> Discrete -> Binomial (and then enter n and p and the relationship such as "<" or "=" and the value). To document your applet answer, include a screenshot, photo taken from your computer screen, or printout from the software output that was produced. Are the three results exactly the same, almost the same, or not identical at all? Why?
