Question

determine whether the following procedure results in a binomial distribution or a distribution that can be treated as binomial (by applying the 5% guideline for cumbersome calculations). if it is not binomial and cannot be treated as binomial, identify at least one requirement that is not satisfied. surveying 20 college students and recording their favorite tv show. choose the correct answer below. a. it is binomial or can be treated as binomial. b. it is not binomial because there are more than two possible outcomes and the trials are not independent. c. it is not binomial because the probability of success does not remain the same in all trials. d. it is not binomial because there are more than two possible outcomes.

Explanation:

A binomial distribution has two possible outcomes for each trial. Here, recording favorite TV - shows has many possible outcomes (different TV shows). So it doesn't meet the requirement of having only two possible outcomes.

Answer:

D. It is not binomial because there are more than two possible outcomes
