Use the following information to answer the next six exercises: The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly select freshman from the study until you find one who replies “yes.” You are interested in the number of freshmen you must ask.

On May 11, 2013 at 9:30 PM, the probability that moderate seismic activity (one moderate earthquake) would occur in the next hours in Japan was about . As in Example , you bet that a moderate earthquake will occur in Japan during this period. If you win the bet, you win . If you lose the bet, you pay. Let X = the amount of profit from a bet. Find the mean and standard deviation of X.
