Question

Check Your Understanding Are you more likely to win a random drawing if you crinkle the paper that contains your name before putting it into the drawing box? A curious student conducted a study to investigate. The student took 100 equal sized slips of paper and crinkled 25 of them before putting them all into a box. After mixing well, they asked an uninformed person to select a winner at random. The student noted if the slip was crinkled. The slip was returned to the box, mixed well, and asked another uninformed person to select a winner at random. This process was repeated 10 times. Let Y = the number of times that a crinkled paper was selected.

Answer: hello your question to the given scenerio is missing below is the missing question

question:  Does this setting represent a Binomial distribution ?

answer : Yes the setting represents a Binomial distribution

Step-by-step explanation:

The setting represents a Binomial distribution, because the criteria's for a Binomial distribution is all present which are

• The random variable ( number of times a crinkled paper is picked ) is represented as Y
• Each sample is drawn independently and with replacement
• there are only two outcomes ( success or failure )
• Number of trials is given as  10
• probability of success = 25 / 100 = 0.25
