Solve this??

There are w cakes and n people. The cakes are distributed to people randomly. Find the expected number of cakes a 'i' person can receive. The distribution is:
a) Bernoulli distribution

b) Binomial distribution

c) Poisson distribution

d) Uniform distribution

e) Exponential distribution

f) Normal distribution

g) Chi-square distribution

h) Gamma distribution

what did you try??
Is the distribution discrete or continuous??
 


@micro mass : I didn't get.. I am poor at propbabilty and statistics

It follows discrete distribution

Plz help me..
 


I am helping you, but I'm not just telling the answer until you tell me what you think and what you tried.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
