You have a bowl with 100 pieces of paper inside, each with a person’s name written on it. It turns out that 50 of the names correspond to males and the other 50 to females. You reach inside and grab five pieces of paper. If X is the random number of male names you choose, is X binomially distributed? Why or why not?

Suppose that you have a hat that contains slips of paper. Each slip of paper has a single number from 1-5 written on it. There are as many slips of paper with a given number as the square of that number, so 16 slips with the number 4, 9 slips with the number 3, and so on. A person is selected to draw a number at random from the hat. Let the random variable X = the number drawn from the hat. Find the mean and the variance of X
