Binomial Distribution

Question 4 • Common Core Algebra II - MA3111 B-IC

Which of the following is a binomial experiment?

Answer
A
Flipping a coin until it comes up tails
B
Flipping a coin until 8 heads are recorded
C
Flipping a coin 10 times and recording if it comes up heads
D
Flipping a coin by 10 different people and recording the age of each person

Explanation

A binomial experiment has a fixed number of trials, two possible outcomes per trial, and the same probability of success on each trial. In choice C, the coin is flipped exactly 10 times, and each flip can be recorded as heads or not heads. Choices A and B do not have a fixed number of flips, while D records ages rather than a two-outcome result.
