(a) You are dealt a five-card poker hand.
X = the number of Diamonds in your hand.

(b) You randomly select one card from each of ten different decks of playing cards.
X = number of Clubs selected.

(c) Heights of females in some population follow a normal distribution with a mean of 65 inches and standard deviation of 1.5 inches. We take a random sample of three women.
