According to a National Public Radio poll, 46% of American school principals believe that students
pay little or no attention to sex education provided in schools (http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/
features/2004/jan/kaiserpoll/principalsfinal.pdf). Suppose that this result is true for the current population
of American school principals.
a. Let x be a binomial random variable denoting the number of American school principals in a random
sample of 11 who believe that students pay little or no attention to sex education taught in
schools. What are the possible values that x can assume?
b. Find the probability that in a random sample of 11 American school principals, exactly 3 believe
that students pay little or no attention to sex education taught in schools.
