According to a study done by a university student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267. Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze.
(a) What is the probability that among 16 randomly observed individuals exactly 6 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?
(b) What is the probability that among 16 randomly observed individuals fewer than 3 do not cover their mouth when sneezing?
(c) Would you be surprised if, after observing 16 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? Why?
(a) The probability that exactly 6 individuals do not cover their mouth is _______
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(b) The probability that fewer than 3 individuals do not cover their mouth is _______
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
(c) Fewer than half of 16 individuals covering their mouth (1) _______ be surprising because the probability of
observing fewer than half covering their mouth when sneezing is _______ which (2) _______ an unusual event.

The probability that a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 268 days is approximately select: 0.3773 0.3773. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) Interpret this probability. Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box within your choice. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.) A. If 100 pregnant individuals were selected independently from this population, we would expect 1 1 pregnancies to last exactly 268 days. B.
