USA Todayreported that approximately25%of all state prison inmates released on parole become repeat offenders while on parole. Suppose the parole board is examining five prisoners up for parole. Letx = number of prisoners out of five on parole who become repeat offenders. The methods ofSection 6.2can be used to compute the probability assignments for the xdistribution.
