Question

Travis plays Grog, a barbarian, in Matt's Dungeons & Dragons campaign.  Travis has a feature that allows Grog to critically hit when he rolls either a 19 or a 20 when rolling for an attack using a 20-sided die.  Thus, Grog will critically hit about 10% of the time.  A statistician randomly selects 20 attack rolls Travis makes from throughout the campaign.  Let X count the number of critical hits Grog makes in the group of 20 of Travis' attack rolls randomly selected by the statistician.

Select the appropriate distribution for the random variable X.
