Assume that the proportion with this genetic trait is exactly 30%. A researcher administers PTC to 20 randomly-selected subjects. Let X be the number of these subjects who are able to taste PTC
(a) What is the probability distribution of X?
(b) Calculate:
(i) the mean and standard deviation of X.
(ii) P( X > 6)
(iii) P( 4 ≤ X ≤ 9)
