38% of working mothers do not have enough money to cover their health insurance deductibles. You randomly select six working mothers and ask them whether they have enough money to cover their health insurance deductibles. The random variable represents the number of working mothers who do not have enough money to cover their health insurance deductibles. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) Construct a binomial distribution using n=6 and p=0.38. x P(x) 0 nothing 1 nothing 2 nothing 3 nothing 4 nothing 5 nothing 6 nothing (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.)

Step 1
In this case, the "success" is defined as a working mother not having enough money to cover her health insurance deductible. The probability mass function of a binomial distribution is given by: P(x) = C(n, x) * (p^x) * ((1-p)^(n-x)) where: - C(n, x) is the Show more…

Find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine whether the events are unusual. If convenient, use a table or technology to find the probabilities. Fifty-four percent of parents would give up cable television to have their child's education paid for. You randomly select five parents. Find the probability that the number of parents who would give up cable television to have their child's education paid for is (a) exactly three, (b) less than four, and (c) at least three.
