Chapter 3 - Probability and the Binomial Distribution - Exercises 3.5.1 - 3.5.10 - Page 107: 3.5.1

a) .122 b) .032 c).782

Y = size of the brood so we need to find the frequencies of said broods a) Brood 3 is 610 so 610/5000 = .122 - 5000 is the total amount of broods but we want just probability of brood size 6 b) Anything brood size 7 and greater (we need to include 7) so (130+26+3+1)/5000 = .032 3) We want brood sizes 4-6 including 4 and 6, so (1400+1760+750)/5000 = .782
