    I'm just not sure if my answers are right!! I need feedback...
    Table A-1
    Answer a: n=15 x=3,2,1,0 p=.40 q=.60
    x p(x)
    3 .063
    2 .022
    1 .005
    0 .0005
    add them up =.0905

    answer b:
    n=15 x=5 p=.4 q=.6
    x p(x)
    5 .186

    answer c:
    n=15
    p=.40
    q=.6
    means=6
    varience=3.6
    s.d.=1.9
