1. For all experiments below, which probability distribution would be appropriate for each situation? (a) The probability of seeing no 4's in 8 rolls of a standard die: (b) The probability of passing an exam is 80% and failing an exam is 20%. A student want to model the probability that they pass the exam. (c) Suppose there are 10 multiple choice questions on an exam. A student wants to model the probability of them receiving a score of 80% or higher. (d) Suppose that a researcher wants to model the average time it takes for people in Seattle to commute to work.
