B. the event classified as a success is  0.45cashews are favorite0, 1, 2, ..., 15pecans0.5515cashews are not favorite8.25.

C. the event classified as a failure is  0.45cashews are favorite0, 1, 2, ..., 15pecans0.5515cashews are not favorite8.25.

D. the probability, p, of success is  0.45cashews are favorite0, 1, 2, ..., 15pecans0.5515cashews are not favorite8.25.

E. the probability, q, of failure is  0.45cashews are favorite0, 1, 2, ..., 15pecans0.5515cashews are not favorite8.25.

F. the possible values of r, the number of success are  0.45cashews are favorite0, 1, 2, ..., 15pecans0.5515cashews are not favorite8.25.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:-

option E.  the probability, q, of failure is  0.45cashews are favorite0, 1, 2,...,15pecans0.5515cashews are not favorite8.25.

=> by given information p = 0.55, q = 1-055 = 0.45,n = 15
