The College Board reports that 2 % of the 2 million high school students who take the SAT each year receive special accommodations because of documented disabilities (Los Angeles Times, July 16, 2002). Consider a random sample of 25 students who have recently taken the test.

a. What is the probability that exactly I received a special accommodation?

b. What is the probability that at least 1 received a special accommodation?

c. What is the probability that at least 2 received a special accommodation?

d. What is the probability that the number among the 25 who received a special accommodation is within 2 standard deviations of the number you would expect to be accommodated?

e. Suppose that a student who does not receive a special accommodation is allowed 3 hours for the exam, whereas an accommodated student is allowed 4.5 hours. What would you expect the average time allowed the 25 selected students to be?
