opinion is split on a new proposed law. at a given campus 35% of people support the new proposal. suppose we want to ask students how they feel untill we meet someone in favor. let x= number of people asked what type of probability distribution does the random variable x have? explain what is the proopinion is split on a new proposed law. at a given campus 35% of people support the new proposal. suppose we want to ask students how they feel untill we meet someone in favor. let x= number of people asked what type of probability distribution does the random variable x have? explain what is the probability of the second person we ask is the first person we meet in favor of the proposalbability of the second person we ask is the first person we meet in favor of the proposal
I'd suggest you list the various types of probability distributions to which you've already been exposed, along with some of the more important characteristics of each such distribution. Once you have that framework, it should be easier to recognize which of the types of distributions applies to your specific problem here. Hint: "Suppose we want to ask students how they feel until we find someone who is in favor of the new proposal" is definitely not a case of normal or binomial probability.
