Question

(This is a multiple choice answer. Of A, B, or C...)

The binomial distribution:

A.) models n independent replications of a Bernoulli experiment, each with a probability p of success.

B.) is a discrete distribution used to model the number of occurrences in some unit of measure.

C.) assumes that the average number of occurrences per unit is a constant and that occurrences are independent.

Answer 1

Solution:

Assumptions for binomial distribution:

1. Each replication of the process results in one of two possible outcomes (success or failure)
2. The number of trials should be fixed.
3. The probability of success is the same for each replication, and
4. The replications are independent, meaning here that success in one patient does not influence the probability of success in another.

Therefore,

The binomial distribution is a model with n independent replications of a Bernoulli experiment, each with a probability p of success.

Option A is correct
