Find the indicated probabilities using thegeometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, orthe binomial distribution. Then determine if the events areunusual. If convenient, use the appropriate probability tableor technology to find the probabilities.
Sixty-seven
percent of U.S. adults oppose hydraulicfracturing (fracking) as a means of increasing the productionof natural gas and oil in the United States. You randomlyselect
five
U.S. adults. Find the probability that the number of U.S. adultswho oppose fracking as a means of increasing the production ofnatural gas and oil in the United States is (a) exactly
three,
(b) less than
four,
and (c) at least
three.
