The Urn Problem, continued Refer to Exercise 5.18. Assume that the sampling was conducted with replacement. That is, assume that the first ball was selected from the jar, observed, and then replaced, and that the balls were then mixed before the second ball was selected. Explain why x, the number of red balls observed, is or is not a binomial random variable. If the experiment is binomial, give the values of n and p.

Reference:

The Urn Problem A jar contains five balls: three red and two white. Two balls are randomly selected without replacement from the jar, and the number x of red balls is recorded. Explain why x is or is not a binomial random variable. (HINT: Compare the characteristics of this experiment with the characteristics of a binomial experiment given in this section.) If the experiment is binomial, give the values of n and p.
