Decide whether the experiment is a binomial experiment. If it​ is, identify a​ success, specify the values of​ n, p, and​ q, and list the possible values of the random variable x.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that about 40​%of babies born with a certain ailment recover fully. A hospital is caring for seven babies born with this ailment.

Each baby is independent of the other and there are exactly two outcomes, recover and not recover.

Hence this experiment is a binomial experiment.

Success is a child getting recovered from this ailment.

p = Probability for any one child to get success = 0.40

`q =1-p =0.6n= no of babies = 7`
