Answer to Question 1

x is a binomial random variable because the trials are independent. n = 4, the number of trials; two outcomes, success = ace and failure = not ace; p = P(ace) = 4/52 and q = P(not ace) = 48/52; x = n (aces drawn in 4 trials) and could be any number 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 . Further, the probability of success (get an ace) remains 4/52 for each trial throughout the experiment, as long as the card drawn on each trial is replaced before the next trial occurs.

Answer to Question 2

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
