During a severe storm, electrical transformers that function independently are expected to operate 85 percent of the time. Suppose 20 electrical transformers are randomly selected from the population. Let the random variable T represent the number of electrical transformers operating during a severe storm. Which of the following is the best interpretation of the random variable T ?
-
It is a binomial variable with mean 17 transformers and standard deviation √2.55 transformers.
-
It is a binomial variable with mean 17 severe storms and standard deviation √2.55 severe storms.
-
It is a binomial variable with mean 0.85 transformer and standard deviation 20 transformers.
-
It is a variable that is not binomial with mean 17 transformers and standard deviation √2.55 transformers.
-
It is a variable that is not binomial with mean 0.85 severe storm and standard deviation 20 severe storms.

2. Many electrical components were packed up for shipment overseas, with 5 items per box. Unfortunately the shipment was exposed to a fairly high dose of ionising radiation. The owners were concerned that some of the components could have been damaged. On arrival at their destination a random sample of 60 boxes was taken. Each box in the sample was opened and the number of defective components was tested. The results are given...
