Chapter 5.1, Problem 4E
In January the U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 8.3% (U.S. Department of Labor website, February 10, 2012). The Census Bureau includes nine states in the Northeast region. Assume that the random variable of interest is the number of Northeastern states with an unemployment rate in January that was less than 8.3%. What values may this random variable assume?
