A math test consists of 17 multiple choice questions,
each with five possible answers (a, b, c, d, e), only one of which is correct.
Assume that a student takes the test and randomly answers the questions.
Explain why this situtation describes a binomial experiment. Be specific.

Individual M&M plain candies have weights that are normally distributed with
a mean weight of 0.8565 g and a standard deviation of 0.0518 g.
If you randomly select 1 M&M plain candy, what is the probability
that the candy will weigh less than 0.8535 g?
Round your answer to three decimal places.

Suppose you are going to test the claim that more than half of adults
prefer a window seat when they fly.
The results of a poll indicated that 492 of 806 adults preferred a
window seat when they were flying.
Calculate the test statistic for this hypothesis test.
Round your answer to two decimal places.
