marbles. Three are drawn without replacement. Let X
count the number red marbles drawn. Is X distributed as a
binomial?
Problem #2.
A box contains 6 red marbles, 2 blue marbles, and 2 green
marbles. The roll of a die determines the number that are
drawn with replacement. Let X count the number red marbles
drawn. Is X distributed as a binomial?
Problem #3.

the number red marbles drawn. Is X distributed as a binomial?
Problem #4.
According to a Univ. of New Hampshire poll,
10% of US adults believe the earth is flat. (I always wonder
what their theory of gravity is. Put a bunch of stuff together
with similar velocities and they clump into a sphere.)
Assume you pick a simple random sample of 10 American adults.
a. What's the prob they all believe the earth isn't flat?
b. How about exactly 2 believe the earth is flat.
c. Prob that 2 or less believe the earth is flat.
d. What's the expected number of flat-earthers?
Problem #5.
In a certain game, the probability of winning is 35%. In five
games, find the probability . . .
a. . . . of losing them all 5.
b. . . . .of losing all but 1 or 2.
c. What's the expected number of wins?
