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 200 college students and recording their favorite tv show choose the correct answer below. o a. it is binomial or can be treated as binomial. o b. it is not binomial because there are more than two possible outcomes and the trials are not independent. o c. it is not binomial because there are more than two possible outcomes. o d. it is not binomial because the probability of success does not remain the same in all trials.

Explanation:

A binomial distribution has the following requirements: a fixed number of independent trials, each trial has only two possible outcomes (success or failure), the probability of success is the same for each trial. In this case, when surveying students about their favorite TV show, there are more than two possible outcomes (as there are multiple TV shows). This violates the "two - possible - outcomes" requirement of a binomial distribution.

Answer:

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