Determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution. If not, state the reason why.
-Choosing 10 marbles from a box of 40 marbles (20 purple, 12 red, and 8 green) one at a time with replacement, keeping track of the number of red marbles chosen.
A) Not binomial: the trials are not independent.
B) Not binomial: there are too many trials.
C) Procedure results in a binomial distribution.
D) Not binomial: there are more than two outcomes for each trial.

The procedure results in a binomial distribution because each trial is independent, there are a fixed number of trials, only two outcomes per trial (red or not red), and the probability of choosing a red marble remains constant due to replacement.
