Let <em>X</em> denote the number of women who consider themselves fans of professional baseball.
The proportion of women who consider themselves fans of professional baseball is, <em>p</em> = 0.37.
A random sample of <em>n</em> = 6 women are selected and each was asked if she considers herself a fan of professional baseball.
