Which of the following is NOT true for Bernoulli Trials?

• All trials must be independent.

• Each trial must be classified as a success or a failure.

• All trials are dependent on each other.

• The number of successes in the trials is counted.

• Yes

• No, the trials are not independent.

• No, there are more than 2 outcomes.

• No, the probability is not constant.
