4 Each packet of the breakfast cereal Fizz contains one plastic toy animal. There are five different animals in the set, and the cereal manufacturers use equal numbers of each. Without opening a packet it is impossible to tell which animal it contains. A family has already collected four different animals at the start of a year and they now need to collect an elephant to complete their set. The family is interested in how many packets they will need to buy before they complete their set.
- Name an appropriate distribution with which to model this situation. State the value(s) of any parameter(s) of the distribution, and state also any assumption(s) needed for the distribution to be a valid model.
- Find the probability that the family will complete their set with the third packet they buy after the start of the year.
- Find the probability that, in order to complete their collection, the family will need to buy more than 4 packets after the start of the year.
