(a) Make a histogram showing the probability distribution of the number of illiterate people out of the six people in the sample. Recall that the binomial distribution with parameters n, p, and r gives the probability distribution of the number of r successes in a sequence of n trials, each of which yields success with probability p. Here we can let "success" be defined as "finding an illiterate person." We are given that 20% of all people in the United States are illiterate. Therefore, each person has a 20% chance of being illiterate, which means the probability of interviewing a person and finding them to be illiterate is 0.2. So, p = In this survey, a random sample of six people are interviewed, so n =
