Which of the following is a characteristic of an experiment where the binomial probability distribution is applicable?
A) The experiment has at least two possible outcomes
B) Exactly two outcomes are possible on each trial

D) The probabilities of the outcomes changes from one trial

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The binomial probability distribution is applicable when there are a fixed number of trials, each trial has only two possible outcomes (often called success and failure), the trials are independent, and the probability of success remains constant throughout all trials. Therefore, option B which states that exactly two outcomes are possible on each trial is correct.
