15. We have a binomial experiment with p = 0.4 and n = 2.

a. Set up the probability distribution by showing all x values and their associated probabilities.

b. Compute the mean, variance, and standard deviation.

Some students were asked if they carry a credit card. Here are the responses.
[Please refer to the attachment for the data]

1. What is the probability that the student is a sophomore given he doesn't carry a credit card?

2. What is the probability that the student was a freshman? (Points: 5)

3. What is the probability that the student is a freshman and doesn't carry a credit card?
