Performance Task A:
Problem: A shipment of five computers contains that are slightly defective. If a retailer receives
three of these computers at random, list the elements of the sample space S using the letters D and N
for defective and non-defective computers, respectively. To each sample point, assign a value x of the
random variable X representing the number of computers purchased by the retailer which are slightly
defective.

Performance Task B
Problem: Four coins are tossed. Let Y be the random variable representing the number of heads
that occur. Find the values of the random variable Y. Construct the probability distribution for
the random variables being described. Draw the corresponding histogram for the given
probability distribution.

Evaluation C
1. No, because the sum of all the values of probabilities is more than 1.
3. No, because the sum of all the values of probabilities is less than 1.
4. No, because the sum of all the values of probabilities is less than 1.
5. No, because the sum of all the values of probabilities is less than 1.
