A company states that 2% of its computers are returned for defects.  We take a sample of 100 computers to find the probability of 10 being defective.  Is this a binomial distribution?

• No because there is not a fixed number of trials.
• No because their are more than 2 outcomes.
• Yes since there are a fixed number of independent trials, outcomes in 2 categories, and the probability of defect is constant.
• No since computers would not be independent.
