2. A bag contains a large number of counters. Each counter has a single digit number on it and the mean of all the numbers in the bag is the unknown parameter \(\mu\). The number 2 is on \(40 \%\) of the counters and the number 5 is on \(25 \%\) of the counters. All the remaining counters have numbers greater than 5 on them.
A random sample of 10 counters is taken from the bag.
- State whether or not each of the following is a statistic
- \(S =\) the sum of the numbers on the counters in the sample,
- \(D =\) the difference between the highest number in the sample and \(\mu\),
- \(F =\) the number of counters in the sample with a number 5 on them.
The random variable \(T\) represents the number of counters in a random sample of 10 with the number 2 on them.
- Specify the sampling distribution of \(T\).
The counters are selected one by one.
- Find the probability that the third counter selected is the first counter with the number 2 on it.
