As a special promotion for its 12-ounce cans of cold coffee, a coffee drink company printed a message on the bottom of each can. Some of the bottoms read, "Better luck next time!" whereas others read, "You won!" The company advertised the promotion with the slogan "One in five wins a prize!" Suppose the company is telling the truth and that every 12-ounce can of coffee has a one-in-five chance of being a winner. Six friends each buy one 12-ounce can of coffee at a local convenience store. Let X equal the number of friends who win a prize. Part A: Explain why X is a binomial random variable. (3 points)

Part B: Find the mean and standard deviation of X. Interpret each value in context. (4 points)

Part C: The store clerk is surprised when two of the friends win a prize. Is this group of friends just lucky, or is the company's one-in-five claim inaccurate? Compute P(X ≥ 2) and use the result to justify your answer. (3 points) (10 points)

Asap for seven months an ice creams vendor collects data showing the number of cones sold a day (c) and the degrees above 70 degrees f the vendor finds that there is a positive linear association between c and t that is the best modeled by this equation c=3.7t+98 which statement is true? the model predicts that the average number of cones sold in a day is 3.7 the model predicts that the average number of cones sold i a day is 98 a model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70 degres f the total of number of cones sold increases by 3.7 the model predicts for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70 degrees f the total number of cones sold increasingly by 98
