Continuous variables Draw a histogram of the distribution Find the probability that a nurse selected at random would be 60 or older. What is the expected age of nurses in 1851? Find the standard deviation.

Random variables USA Today reported that about 25% of all state prisoners released on Parole become repeat offenders while on parole. Suppose the parole board is examining 5 prisoners for parole. Let x= number of prisoners of the 5 on parole who become repeat offenders. Here is the probability distribution:

Random variables x 1 2 3 4 5 P(x) 0.24 0.4 0.26 0.09 0.02 1 2 3 4 5 P(x) 0.24 0.4 0.26 0.09 0.02 Find the probability that one or more of the 5 will be repeat offenders? Find the probability that 2 or more will be repeat offenders? Find the probability that 4 or more will be repeat offenders? Find the expected number of repeat offenders? Find the standard deviation.
