Binomial Distribution

Which of the following is NOT an assumption of the Binomial distribution?

• 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.

Which of the following is false about binomial probabilities?

• Their distributions are approximately symmetric.
• Trials must be fixed.
• Events musts be independent.
• The probability of success must be 0.50

Is the distribution below a probability distribution? Why or why not?

• Yes. All P(x) values are between 0 and 1, and ∑P(x) = 1
• No, not all P(x) values are between 0 and 1.
• No, ∑P(x) ≠ 1.
