Sample people one by one with replacement (or else without replacement if the population size is large) until you get the third person with type AB blood, and then stop. X = number of people in your sample with other types of blood. The distribution of X is "hypergeometric", "binomial", "negative binomial", or "Poisson". 2. At any moment in time, a meteorite can reach the surface of the earth. It is estimated that 500 do so each year. Let X denote the number in a 1/4 year period. The distribution of X is "hypergeometric", "binomial", "negative binomial", or "Poisson". 3. Meteorites that reach the earth's surface can be classified as either large (at least 100 grams) or not large. Imagine collecting 40 randomly selected meteorites, and let X represent the number of large meteorites in the sample. The distribution of X is "hypergeometric", "binomial", "negative binomial", or "Poisson". 4. Imagine that 40 meteorites are collected, and you randomly divide the meteorites into two piles: those for you to analyze and those for your colleague to analyze, 20 each. Suppose in actuality there were 7 large meteorites and 33 non-large meteorites in the original sample. X denotes the number of large meteorites in your pile. The distribution of X is "hypergeometric", "binomial", "negative binomial", or "Poisson".
