Suppose that you randomly selected 25 adults. If 11% of the population are smokers, what is the probability that a) all 25 are not smokers? Round this probability to four decimal places. b) exactly 5 smoke? Round this probability to four decimal places. c) exactly 7 smoke? Round this probability to four decimal places. d) at least 5 smoke? Round this probability to four decimal places. e) more than 5 smoke? Round this probability to four decimal places. f) How many of the 25 people would you expect to smoke? Round to four decimal places.
