If you sum the probabilities of the possible values of a discrete random variable, the result always equals .
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.

Two random variables, X and Y, have standard deviations 2.4 and 3.6, respectively. Which one is more likely to take a value close to its mean? Explain your answer.
In each of Exercises 5.167-5.172, we have provided the number of trials and success probability for Bernoulli trials. LetX 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) TableVII in AppendixA. Compare your answer here to that in part (a).
Decide which of these numbers could not possibly be probabilities. Explain your answers.
