• 1) Please work on the following textbook exercises in Moore/McCabe/Craig:
  
  
  • Exercise 4.131 (2 points), 4.145 (2), 5.12 (2), 5.14 (2), 5.24 (2), 5.28 (2), 5.42 (2), 5.44 (2), 5.46 (2), 5.48 (2), 5.53 (2), 5.74 (2), 5.75 (2), 5.78 (2), 5.82 (2)
    
    
  Use at least two approaches (if possible) when answering a numerical question related to the Binomial distribution, i.e., (i) manually apply the formulas for factorials, binomial coefficients, and the binomial probability formula, (ii) work with Table C (in the Appendix of the textbook), or (iii) from within StatCrunch, select "Stat" -> "Calculators" -> "Binomial"; then enter n and p and the relationship such as "<" or "=" and the value and click on "Compute".
  
  Are the three results exactly the same, almost the same, or not identical at all? Why? Be aware that in the final exam, you must use approach (i) for these questions, but approaches (ii) and (iii) will allow you to check your results in the homework before submitting your answers.
