Binomial Distribution · Exercise 5

The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time first-year students from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% 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 first-year students from the survey. You are interested in the number that believes that same sex-couples should have the right to legal marital status.

On average (μ), how many would you expect to answer yes?
