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 50 times. Let X = the number of aces you observe.

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

Which one of these variables is a binomial random variable?

• Number of women taller than 68 inches in a random sample of 5 women
• Number of CDs a randomly selected person owns
