An auto parts seller finds that 1 in every 200 parts sold is defective. Use the geometric distribution to find the probability that (c) none of the first 20 parts sold are defective.

Using a Distribution to Find Probabilities In Exercises 11–26, find the indicated probabilities using the geometric distribution, the Poisson distribution, or the binomial distribution. Then determine whether the events are unusual. If convenient, use a table or technology to find the probabilities.

Living Donor Transplants The mean number of organ transplants from living donors performed per day in the United States in 2020 was about 16. Find the probability that the number of organ transplants from living donors performed on any given day is (c) no more than 10. (Source: Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network)

Find the probability that the number who think that civil rights for Black Americans have improved during their lifetime is (a) exactly one and (b) exactly five. (Source: Gallup)

Identifying and Understanding Binomial Experiments In Exercises 15–18, determine whether the experiment is a binomial experiment. If it is, identify a success; specify the values of n, p, and q; and list the possible values of the random variable x. If it is not a binomial experiment, explain why.

Basketball A’ja Wilson, the 2020 WNBA Most Valuable Player, makes a free throw shot about 78% of the time. The random variable represents the number of free throws that she makes on eight attempts. (Source: Women’s National Basketball Association)
