For each of the following probability histograms of binomial distributions, specify whether the success probability is less than, equal to, or greater than 0.5. Explain your answers.

What is the binomial distribution?
A random variable X has mean 3.6. If you make a large number of repeated independent observations of the random variable X, the average value of those observations will be approximately .
An experiment has 20 possible outcomes, all equally likely. An event can occur in five ways. The probability that the event occurs is .
