The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Contr
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution,

X \sim Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of American births resulting in a defect.

The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately <em>p</em> = 1/33.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 5 American births are selected.

It is assumed that the births are independent, i.e. a birth can be defective or not is independent of the other births.

In this experiment the success is defined as a defective birth.

The random variable <em>X</em> satisfies all criteria of a Binomial distribution.

The criteria are:

  • Number of observations is constant
  • Independent trials
  • Each trial has only two outcomes: Success and Failure
  • Same probability of success for each trial

Thus, the appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution, Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).
