Question

Assigned Media Question Help Determine whether the following probability experiment represents a binomial experiment and explain the reason for your answer. An experimental drug is administered to 180180 randomly selected​ individuals, with the number of individuals responding favorably recorded.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes ,it represents a binomial experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a probability experiment to represent a binomial experiment ,there are three conditions.

1) There should be a fixed number of trials.

2) Trials should be independent.

3)Each trial can result in two outcomes.

In this experiment ,there is a fixed number of trial ,since it is administered to 180180 individuals.

Outcome on an individual does not affect the outcome of others.

Individuals respond as favorably or not ,so it can be reduced to two outcomes.

All conditions are met, so it can be considered as binomial experiment.
