During the 1990s about 0.3% of children were exposed to unsafe levels of lead (usually from lead pipes). 3. If we let X = the number of children in our study with exposure to unsafe levels of lead we can use the binomial distribution to model the probability distribution of X. Explain why using the definition of Binomial from your notes. (Recall we randomly selected the 425 children and the probability a child is exposed is 0.3%. 4. The researchers found that 5 children in the study had unsafe levels of lead in their blood, Find the probability that in a random sample of 425 children we find at least 5 that have exposure to unsafe levels of lead. 5.
