3. Approximately 3.6% of all (untreated) Jonathan apples had bitter pit in a study conducted by the botanists. Let n be a random variable that represents the first Jonathan apple chosen at random that has bitter pit. a. Write out a formula for the probability distribution of the random variable. Find the probabilities that b. n=3 e. Find the probability that n ≥ 5 c. n=5 d. n=12 f. What is the expected number of apples th must be examined to find the first one wi bitter pit? Hint: Use μ for the geometric distribution and round.
