sum(dbinom(3:5,5,1/6)) [1] 0. 5. .3^ [1] 5.31441e- 5. sum(dbinom(1:24, 24, 1/36)) [1] 0. sum(dbinom(1:4, 4, 1/6)) [1] 0. The second event is more likely.

(a) > pnorm(2.2,0,1) [1] 0. (b) > pnorm(2,0,1) - pnorm(-1,0,1) [1] 0. (c) > 1-pnorm(2.5,0,1) [1] 0. (d) > qnorm(c(.1,.5,.9)) [1] -1.281552 0.000000 1. Therefore, b = 1.
