Probability S

The document contains several probability questions and distributions, including calculating the probability of getting various outcomes when flipping a coin multiple times, finding the probability distribution and statistics for the sum of two dice, and determining if a table describes a discrete probability distribution by calculating its mean and standard deviation. It also includes drawing a histogram and calculating statistics for a probability distribution of household sizes and the number of days it takes to fix defects in eyeglasses.
