Find σ. Round answer to 4 decimal places. Question 2 of 20 0.0/ 1.0 Points It is known that 50% of adult workers have a high school diploma. If a random sample of 8 adult workers is selected, what is the probability that less than 6 of them have a high school diploma? (That is, what is P(X<6) (keep 4 decimal places) Question 3 of 20 0.0/ 1.0 Points Suppose a random variable, x, arises from a binomial experiment. If n = 14, and p = 0.13, find the P(X = 3) using Excel. Round answer to 4 decimal places. \ Question 4 of 20 0.0/ 1.0 Points Approximately 8% of all people have blue eyes. A random sample of 20 people is selected, find μ. Do not round answer. Answer: Question 5 of 20 0.0/ 1.0 Points If random variable X has a binomial distribution with n =7 and P(success) = p =0.6, find the probability that X is at least 6.
