Question

Determine whether or not the given procedure results in a binomial distribution. If not, identify which condition is not met. Spinning an American roulette wheel 7979 times and recording the number of times the ball lands on an even number.

Answer 1

Answer:

The procedure does results in a binomial distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a binomial probability distribution to be applicable, certain conditions have to be met which are :

There must be a fixed number of observations ; here the number of observations are : 79

All observations must be independent ; the observations are independent ; odd or even

Observations must fall into one of two categories : success category or failure. Here, observations can be odd or even

The probability of success must be equally likely for each observation.

Hence, the procedure results in a binomial probability distribution.
