Before 1918, approximately 55% of the wolves in a region were male, and 45% were female. However, cattle ranchers in this area have made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 to the present, approximately 65% of wolves in the region are male, and 35% are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than females to return to an area where the population has been greatly reduced. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

An experiment consists of tossing an unfair coin (53% chance of landing on heads) a specified number of times and recording the outcomes.

What if we toss the coin four times? A) The probability changes for both three and four tosses. B) The probability changes if we toss the coin four times, but does not change if we toss the coin three times. C) The probability changes if we toss the coin three times, but does not change if we toss the coin four times. D) The probability does not change for either three or four tosses. What probability distribution model do we use to compute these probabilities?
