d) The bar chart show that the responses by 48 respondents in a survey on the
importance of introducing science and environmental education to early childhood.
The respondents were most of the time will answer that it is “important” by 16
responses, 12 respondents on “fairly important”, 10 respondents on “very important”,
6 respondents on “slightly important” and only 4 respondents took the answer as “not
important”.

QUESTION 3
In this article we share 5 examples of how the Binomial distribution is used in the real world.
Medical professionals use the binomial distribution to model the probability that a certain
number of patients will experience side effects as a result of taking new medications.
For example, suppose it is known that 5% of adults who take a certain medication experience
negative side effects. We can use a Binomial Distribution Calculator to find the probability
that more than a certain number of patients in a random sample of 100 will experience
negative side effects.
And so on.
This gives medical professionals an idea of how likely it is that more than a certain number of
patients will experience negative side effects.
Banks use the binomial distribution to model the probability that a certain number of credit
card transactions are fraudulent.
For example, suppose it is known that 2% of all credit card transactions in a certain region are
fraudulent. If there are 50 transactions per day in a certain region, we can use a Binomial
Distribution Calculator to find the probability that more than a certain number of fraudulent
transactions occur in a given day:
This gives banks an idea of how likely it is that more than a certain number of fraudulent
transactions will occur in a given day.
Email companies use the binomial distribution to model the probability that a certain number
of spam emails land in an inbox per day.
For example, suppose it is known that 4% of all emails are spam. If an account receives 20
emails in a given day, we can use a Binomial Distribution Calculator to find the probability
that a certain number of those emails are spam:
And so on.
Park systems use the binomial distribution to model the probability that rivers overflow a
certain number of times each year due to excessive rain.
For example, suppose it is known that a given river overflows during 5% of all storms. If
there are 20 storms in a given year, we can use a Binomial Distribution Calculator to find the
probability that the river overflows a certain number of times:
And so on.
This gives the parks departments an idea of how many times they may need to prepare for
overflows throughout the year.
For example, suppose it is known that 10% of all orders get returned at a certain store each
week. If there are 50 orders that week, we can use a Binomial Distribution Calculator to find
the probability that the store receives more than a certain number of returns that week:
And so on.
This gives the store an idea of how many customer service reps they need to have in the store
that week to handle returns.
