A bag contains 8 white and 2 red marbles. A marble is removed at random, its color is noted and it is replaced back into the bag.
The experiment is repeated 5 times in all.
Describe the distribution followed by the number of red marbles removed.
-----
Binomial distribution with n = 5 and P(red) = 2/10
Let # of red be 0<= x <=5. and show P(x) for each x value.
