  1. For which one or more of these variables is
    (a) the mean equal to the median,
    (b) the mean greater than the median?
  2. Give a reason why none of these diagrams could represent a geometric distribution.
  3. Which one of these diagrams could not represent a binomial distribution? Explain your answer briefly.

14 A counter is initially at point \(O\) on the \(x\)-axis. A fair coin is thrown 6 times. Each time the coin shows heads, the counter is moved one unit in the positive \(x\)-direction. Each time the coin shows tails, the counter is moved one unit in the negative \(x\)-direction. The final distance of the counter from \(O\), in either direction, is denoted by \(D\). Determine the most probable value of \(D\). \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER} \section*{OCR
