LetS represent the number of randomly selected adults in a community surveyed to find someone with a certain genetic trait.

The random variableS follows a geometric distribution with mean 4.66. Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the mean?

A) A value randomly selected from the distribution ofS is expected to be 4.66.

B) In repeated sampling from the distribution ofS, the average of the values will approach 4.66.

C) For a sample of values randomly selected from the distribution ofS, the average of the sample will be 4.66.

D) The probability is 0.66 that a value randomly selected from the distribution ofS will be close to the mean.

E) For a sample of values randomly selected from the distribution ofS, the average of the sample will vary from the population mean by no more than 4.66.
