Question 2

A local newspaper claims that 70 of the items advertised in its classifieds section are
  sold within 1 week of the first appearance of the ad.
 
  To check the validity of the claim,
  the newspaper randomly selected n = 25 advertisements from last year's classifieds and
  contacted the people who placed the ads. They found that 16 of the 25 items sold within
  a week. Based on the newspaper's claim, is it likely to observe x  16 who sold their item
  within a week? Use a binomial probability table.
