From a standard deck of cards you pick a card and note whether it’s a diamond

or not, replace the card. You repeat this five times, so n=5. The outcomes for each trial can be classified in two categories: S= selecting a diamond and F= selecting another suit. The

probabilities of success and failure are:

Trial Card S or F?

1 Club F

2 Diamond S

3 Heart F

4 Heart F

5 Diamond S

P= P(S) = ¼ AND Q= P(F) = ¾

N= 5P= ¼Q= ¾

X= 0,1,2,3,4, and 5
