Unfortunately, she (Sophi, not Mrs. Coley) is not particularly adept at catching as her probability of catching the ball is 0.15. Mrs. Coley is interested in determining how many tosses it will take for Sophie to catch the ball once. Can this situation be described as binomial, geometric, or neither? Design a simulation of this, using 5 trials, to find the number of tosses it will take for Sophie to catch the ball one time.

5. Mr. Wylder, avid baseball player & coach, decides to train Sophie. After three-a-day training sessions for 4 weeks, the probability that Sophie catches the ball has increased to 0.35. Mr. Wylder is interested in determining the number of times Sophie will catch the ball in 25 tosses. Can this situation be described as binomial, geometric, or neither? Design a simulation to answer Mr. Wylder’s question using 5 trials.
