According to a Harris Interactive poll, 52% of American college graduates have Facebook accounts
(http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/pubs/Harris_Poll_2009_04_16.pdf). Suppose that this result
is true for the current population of American college graduates.
a. Let x be a binomial random variable that denotes the number of American college graduates in
a random sample of 15 who have Facebook accounts. What are the possible values that x can
assume?
b. Find the probability that exactly 9 American college graduates in a sample of 15 have Facebook
accounts.
