Some parts of California are particularly earthquake prone. Suppose that in one metropolitan area, the chance a homeowner is insured against an earthquake is 0.30, A sample of four homeowners are to be selected at random. Suppose X is a random variable that is modeled by a binomial distribution which describes the number of homeowners out of the four that have earthquake insurance.
