Answer:
w = $1 or $10 or $25
Probability distribution of w = ($1,$1 $1,$1 $1,$10 $1,$25 $1,$25 $1,$1 $1,$1 $1,$10 $1,$25 $1,$25 $10,$1 $10,$1 $10,$10 $10,$25 $10,$25 $25,$1 $25,$1 $25,$10 $25,$25 $25,$25 $25,$1 $25,$1 $25,$10 $25,$25 $25,$25)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the winner gets the larger amount of the two slips picked, random variable 'w' which is the amount awarded could be $1 or $10 or $25.
The probability distribution of 'w' is the values that the statistic takes on. Which could be: $1,$1 $1,$1 $1,$10 $1,$25 $1,$25 $1,$1 $1,$1 $1,$10 $1,$25 $1,$25 $10,$1 $10,$1 $10,$10 $10,$25 $10,$25 $25,$1 $25,$1 $25,$10 $25,$25 $25,$25 $25,$1 $25,$1 $25,$10 $25,$25 $25,$25
