1. What would be a reasonable guess for the distribution of each of the following. Also, please state whether the distribution is a discrete-type or a continuous- type distribution. (a) The number of cars that pass by my house in the next 15 minutes. (b) The number of red cars among the next 10 cars that pass by my house. (c) The length of time from now until a car passes by my house. (d) Whether or not the next car that passes by is red. (e) The location of the tire valve on the circle formed by the right front tire of my car. Assume that 0 means the tire valve is as close to the front of the car as possible. If the tire valve is at the top of the car, you have various choices: 90 degrees, π/2 radians, or 1/4 turn. (For this problem, also give the parameters of the distribution.) (f) The number of cars that pass by my house until a red car passes by.

1. What would be a reasonable guess for the distribution of each of the following.
Also, please state whether the distribution is a discrete-type or a continuous-
type distribution.
(a) The number of cars that pass by my house in the next 15 minutes.
(b) The number of red cars among the next 10 cars that pass by my house.
(c) The length of time from now until a car passes by my house.
(d) Whether or not the next car that passes by is red.
(e) The location of the tire valve on the circle formed by the right front
tire of my car. Assume that 0 means the tire valve is as close to the
front of the car as possible. If the tire valve is at the top of the car, you
have various choices: 90 degrees, π/2 radians, or 1/4 turn. (For this
problem, also give the parameters of the distribution.)
(f) The number of cars that pass by my house until a red car passes by.
