Suppose you were to flip a fair coin 7 times and you recorded the number of “Tails” that you received. Find the probability that you would get exactly 7 “Tails” out of 7 coin tosses.  Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 1.23456, then you would type in 1.23.

A local landscaping company was running a promotional offer to plant drought resistant trees for homeowners, and the survival rate for those plants has been 91% in the past. Christine just bought a new home and she is looking to hire the company to plant 10 drought resistant trees in her yard. What is the probability that at most 8 of those trees survive? Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 1.23456, then you would type in 1.23.

Suppose you roll a standard 6-sided die and you recorded the number of times that you ended up rolling an even number. Find the probability that you would get no more than 4 even numbers out of 5 rolls of the dice. Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 1.23456, then you would type in 1.23.

Suppose you were to flip a fair coin 12 times and you recorded the number of “Tails” that you received. Find the probability that you would get anywhere from 2 to 8 “Tails”. Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 1.23456, then you would type in 1.23.

A study was conducted that found 46.9% of all smartphone users in the US had an iPhone. Suppose you were to randomly sample 40 US smartphone users. What is the probability that at most 20 of them had an iPhone? Use a binomial distribution to answer this question. Make sure to round your answer to 2 decimal places; i.e. if your answer was 0.654321 then you would type 0.65

Suppose you were to flip a fair coin 9 times and you recorded the number of “Tails” that you received. Find the probability that you would get exactly 6 “Tails” out of 9 coin tosses.  Make sure to type in your answer rounded to 2 decimal places. For example, if you thought the answer was 1.23456, then you would type in 1.23.

A local community college was interested in gauging how interested their students were in building a parking garage on campus. However, they knew that a large number of their students primarily took online courses, so they wanted to ensure that they compared the responses between students taking in-person classes and online classes. They decided to randomly survey 140 students taking in-person classes and 280 students taking online classes. They asked them whether or not they were interested in a parking garage being built on campus. Out of 140 students taking in-person classes, 70 of them stated they were interested. Out of the 280 students taking online classes, 130 mentioned they were interested.  Use this information to carry out the appropriate hypothesis test at the
