5. Binomial Distribution & Discrete Random Variables

A school is holding a fair raffle and a teacher is interested in predicting how many winners will be from her class. Determine which probability distribution she should use given the following information.

(A) There are 386 tickets, one for each student. Tickets are placed back in the pool after being chosen and 5 tickets are drawn.

Find the probability of drawing a hand of 5 cards from a standard deck that contains exactly 2 hearts.

Manufacturing An assembly line produces 10,000 automobile parts. Twenty percent of the parts are defective. An inspector randomly selects 10 of the parts

a. Use the Multiplication Rule (discussed in Section 3.2) to find the probability that none of the selected parts are defective. (Note that the events are dependent.)
