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.

A wildlife biologist examines frogs for a genetic trait they suspect may be linked to sensitivity to industrial toxins in the environment. Previous research had established that this trait is usually found in 1 of every 8 frogs. 

1. The biologist collects and examines a dozen frogs. If the frequency of the trait has not changed, what’s the probability they find the trait in none of the 12 frogs?
