Question

Determine whether or not the procedure described below results in a binomial distribution. If it is not binomial, identify at least one requirement that is not satisfied.

Each is asked if he or she is a member of political party A, recording Yes or No. Choose the correct answer below. A. No, the number of trials is not fixed. B. No comma the trials are not independent and the sample is more than 5 % of the population.No, the trials are not independent and the sample is more than 5% of the population. C. Yes comma the result is a binomial probability distribution.Yes, the result is a binomial probability distribution. D. No, the probability of success is not the same in all trials. E. No, there are more than two possible outcomes.

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer: C. Yes, the result is a binomial probability distribution.Yes, the result is a binomial probability distribution

Condition of Binomial Distribution:

1. Each trail containes two mutually exclusive outcomes either success or failure. Thus, Party A or Party B

2. Trails are independent.

3. Number of trails (n) must be small and finite (there is no option in the given)

4. Probability of success for each traill must be same.

     Conditions 1, 2, 4 satiesfied.
