Hint: See Spreadsheet notes

5) Use Excel to generate a binomial distribution histogram . Choose your own n <5 and choose your own p (see spreadsheet notes). DO NOT submit your excel file. Submit the Excel features and arguments you used to generate the dataset.

(as per the answering policy i am answering the first question)

1.

Business population : 500 ml soft drink bottles

We are measuring the actual amount of softdrink filled in each bottle because the filling machine cannot be completely accurate at all times

Here the population is normally distributed with mean 500ml in each bottle with a standard deviation of 1ml

Here the metric used to measure the characteristic is millilitres (ml) which messages the amount (volume) of softdrink filled in the bottle.
