Instructions
Initial Post: Make up a similar example to the above problem using (a) with replacement and (b) without replacement. You may use playing cards, or a similar scenario, however be sure that you can represent both with and without replacement. Flipping a coin 10 times is not appropriate because only represents the "without replacement" condition.
