(Use p and n in your answer.)P(n)=(b) Find the probabilities that n = 3, n = 5, and n 12. (Use 3 decimal places.)P(3)P(5)P(12)(c) Find the probability that n 2 5. (Use 3 decimal places.)(d) What is the expected number of apples that must be examined to find the first one with bitter pit? Hint: Use for the geometric distribution and round.
