to is the variance of the number of fixed elements, that is, element' left in the same position, of a randomly selected permutation of n elements? [Hint: Let A’ denote the number of fixed points of a random permutation, Writel=A’j + J2+-+4"’^re^i: 1 permutation fixes the ith element andXj=o otherwise.] The

Suppose 20 adults are selected at random and the number who are satisfied is recorded. Would it be unusual to find more than 17 who are satisfied with the job the major airlines were doing? The result is/is not unusual, because P(x>17) = _____under the assumption that the proportion of adults that are satisfied with the airlines is 63%.
