Question

Select each of the following experiments that are binomial experiments:

Answer 1

Answer:

a) No.

b) Yes.

c) Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) No.

As being without replacement, the probabilities of each color in each draw change depending on the previous draws.

This is best modeled by an hypergeometric distribution.

b) Yes.

As being with replacement, the probabilities for each color is constant.

Also, there are only two colors, so the "success", with probability p, can be associated with the color red, and the "failure", with probability (1-p), with the color blue, for example.

(With more than two colors, it should be "red" and "not red", allowing only two possibilities).

c) Yes.

The answer is binary (Yes or No) and the probabilities are constant, so it can be represented as a binomial experiment.
