Solar energy cells. According to Wired(June 2008), 35% of NW the world’s solar energy cells are manufactured in China. Consider a random sample of 5 solar energy cells, and let x represent the number in the sample that are manufacturedin China. In the next section, we show that the probabilitydistribution for x is given by the formula,

a. Explain why x is a discrete random variable.


b. Find p( x) for x= 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 , and 5.


c. Show that the properties for a discrete probability distribution are satisfied.


d. Find the probability that at least 4 of the 5 solar energy cells in the sample are manufactured in China.
