Check Your Understanding Are you more likely to win a random drawing if you crinkle the paper that contains your name before putting it into the drawing box? A curious student conducted a study to investigate. The student took 100 equal sized slips of paper and crinkled 25 of them before putting them all into a box. After mixing well, they asked an uninformed person to select a winner at random. The student noted if the slip was crinkled. The slip was returned to the box, mixed well, and asked another uninformed person to select a winner at random. This process was repeated 10 times. Let Y = the number of times that a crinkled paper was selected.


B. Use technology to make a histogram of the probability distribution of Y. Describe its shape.


C. Calculate and interpret the mean of Y.


D. Calculate and interpret the standard deviation of Y.
