Question
Recently, commentators on an ESPN show, College Football Final, half-joked that the University of Connecticut (UConn) is a Canadian' team because 6 starters on the team are Canadian. If we assume that there are 30 starters on the UConn team, then that implies that there are 24 Americans on the UConn team. So, 6 out of 35 million Canadians are starters on the UConn team, and 24 out of 350 million Americans are starters on the UConn team. Use the Poisson distribution to approximate the probability of6 out of 35 million Canadiams, or greater, if in fact the true average selection rate is 24 out of 350 million. Hint: mu mean np 24, but the Canadian selection rate, standardized to the American population,-6 x (350 million/35 million) = 60. o.00000000048 0.00000048 0.00048 0.048 O 0.48 O 1.0000000000000 UESTION 9 Based on the above answer, the ESPN commentators are right - UConn really does have an unusual number of Canadian starters on its football team this year! True FalseExplanation / Answer

P(x; ) = (e-) (x) / x!
e^--6(6^35)/35!) = 0.00048
option c
