Nobel Laureates. From Wikipedia and the article "Which Country Has the Best Brains?" from BBC News Magazine, we obtained a frequency distribution of the number of Nobel Prize winners. by country.
Suppose that a recipient of a Nobel Prize is selected at random. Find the probability that the Nobel Laureate is from

Consider the set consisting of the first positive whole numbers . Determine explicitly the numbers in the set satisfy each of the following conditions:
Part (a) at least
Part (b) at most
Part (c) betweenandinclusive.
Following are two probability histograms of binomial distributions. For each, specify whether the success probability is less than, equal to, or greater than 0.5.
In each of Exercises 5.167-5.172, we have provided the number of trials and success probability for Bernoulli trials. Let X denote the total number of successes. Determine the required probabilities by using
(a) the binomial probability formula, Formula 5.4 on page 236. Round your probability answers to three decimal places.
(b) Table VII in Appendix A. Compare your answer here to that in part (a).
