Based on the probability distribution, which result would be surprising?"a. 14 seniors completed 1 job application through the career centers.b. 15 seniors completed 2 job applications through the career center.c. 130 seniors completed 3 job applications through the career center.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Option bStep-by-step explanation:Given that the probability distribution of X, where X is the number of job applications completed by a college senior through the school’s career center.  Expected observed Diff x p(x) p(x)*1000       0 0.002 2   1 0.011 11 14 -3 2 0.115 115 15 100 3 0.123 123 130 -7 4 0.144 144   5 0.189 189   6 0.238 238   7 0.178 178       1 1000 We find that there is a large difference in 2 job applicationHence option b is right.
