Binomial Distributions

Is this binomial experiment? Shuffle a deck of 52 cards. Turn over the top card. Put the card back in the deck, shuffle again. Repeat the process 10 times. Let X = the number of aces you observe.

• Yes
• No, the trials are not independent.
• No, there are more than 2 outcomes

An algebra 2 test has 6 multiple choice questions with four choices with one correct answer each. If we just randomly guess on each of the 6 questions, what is the probability that you get exactly 3 questions correct? (You need to figure out the p value first. It is not given to you.)

Is the distribution below a probability distribution? Why or why not?

• Yes. All P(x) values are between 0 and 1, and ∑P(x) = 1
• No, not all P(x) values are between 0 and 1.
• No, ∑P(x) ≠ 1.
