(a) Make a histogram showing the probability of r = 0 to 6 friends for whom an address will be found.
   
   

(b) Find the mean and standard deviation of this probability distribution. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
μ =  friends
σ =  friends

What is the expected number of friends for whom addresses will be found? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
