Answer:
Yes, because the experiment satisfies all the criteria for a binomial experiment.
Explanation:
A binomial experiment has the following criterias,
1. There must be a fixed number of trials
2. Each trial is independent of the others
3. There must be only two outcomes ( success and failure )
4. The probability of each outcome is same.
Given,
An experimental drug is administered to 80 randomly selected individuals, with the number of individuals responding favorably recorded,
The number of trials = 80 ( fixed )
Each individuals is independent,
Total outcomes = 2 ( yes or no ),
Also, the probability of each individual is same,
Hence, the given probability experiment represent a binomial experiment.
