Answer to Question #350024 in Statistics and Probability for KayKay

Question

one of the characteristics of binominal experiment is that each trial can result in two or more outcomes?

Answer 1

1. The experiment consists of a sequence of $n$ smaller experiments called trials, where $n$ is fixed in advance of the experiment.

2. Each trial can result in one of the same two possible outcomes (dichotomous trials), which we generically denote by success (S) and failure (F).

3. The trials are independent, so that the outcome on any particular trial does not influence the outcome on any other trial.

4. The probability of success P(S) is constant from trial to trial; we denote this

probability by p.

An experiment for which Conditions 1–4 are satisfied is called a binomial

experiment.

The statement that one of the characteristics of binominal experiment is that each trial can result in two or more outcomes is False.
