Construct a probability distribution table for the data.
= _______
Find the probability that a physics major will do post-graduate research for at most three years. = _______
Use the following information to answer the next eight exercises: The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly pick eight first-time, full-time freshmen from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same sex-couples should have the right to legal marital status.
