In a group of 12 astronauts, 5 of them are experts in exobiology. Out of the 12 astronauts, 3 are randomly selected (without replacement) to be on the next mission. Let X be the number of experts selected for the mission:
a) Find the probability mass function of X (i.e. Fill out your final answers in the table):
b) Based on your answer in a) find V ar(1.3 − 6.2X). Circle your final answer. Hint: It may be helpful to first find Var(X).

In a random sample of 64 people it was found that 42 of them could name all fifty states in the U.S. If two people from this sample are randomly chosen without replacement, what is the probability at least one of these two people can name all fifty states? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. (Hint: The complement of "at least one" is "none". Find the probability that neither of the two people chosen can name all fifty states...
