Where will you get your next pet? According to an Associated Press/Petside.com poll, half of all pet owners would get their next dog or cat from a shelter (USA Today, May 12,2010 ). Consider a random sample of 20 pet owners and define $x$ as the number of pet owners who would acquire their next dog or cat from a shelter. Assume that $x$ is a binomial random variable. a. For this binomial experiment, what is $n$ ? b. Find $P(x=7)$. c. Find $P(x \geq 3)$. d. Find $P(x>5)$
Is a dog "man's best friend"? One would think so, with 60 million pet dogs nationwide. But how many friends are needed? In the American Pet Products Association's $2007-2008$ National Pet Owners Survey, the following statistics were reported. $$\begin{array}{lc}\text { Number of Pet Dogs } & \text { Percentage } \\\hline \text { One } & 03 \\\text { Two } & 25 \\\text { Three or more } & 12 \\\hline\end{array}$$ a. Is this a discrete probability distribution? Explain. b. Draw a relative frequency histogram to depict the results shown in the table. c. Replacing the category "Three or more" with exactly "Three," find the mean and standard deviation of the number of pet dogs per household. d. How do you interpret the mean? e. Explain the effect that replacing the category "Three or more" with "Three" has on the mean and standard deviation.

Write Now biology: saving a species Write a letter to your congressperson in which you use the concepts learned in this chapter to explain how wolves [or a different species near you) are beneficial to our wilderness ecosystems. Explain what role the species plays in the environment, what has caused it to be endangered or at risk now, what the likely effect will be if it goes extinct (locally or globally), and what could be done to ensure its survival.
