1. Suppose I am looking out my window. What would be a reasonable guess as to the distribution of each of the following? (a) Whether I see any crows? (To be more precise, I should probably say the indicator function of whether I see any crows while looking out the window this morning?) (b) The number of red-tailed hawks among the next 10 raptors that I see? (c) The number of raptors that I see until I see a red-tailed hawk?
