A company has developed an "easystart" mower that cranks the engine with the push of a button. The company claims that the E probability the mover will start on any push of the brution is D..Assume for now this listorm of the probatity distini the mower, let T = the number of times it starts on the first push of the button. Here is a histogram of the probability distribution

Does T have a binomial distribution? Justify your answer.

A)No, this is not a binomial setting because the probability of success is not the same for each trial.

B)No, this is not a binomial setting because the given scenario is not binary.

C)No, this is not a binomial setting because the observations are not independent.

D)Yes. Thas a binomial distribution with n = 30 and p = 0.90.

E)No, this is not a binomial setting because the number of trials are not fixed in advance.

Final answer:

No, this is not a binomial setting because the probability of success is not the same for each trial. So the correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is option A) No, this is not a binomial setting because the probability of success is not the same for each trial.

In a binomial distribution, each trial has the same probability of success. However, in this scenario, the probability of the mower starting on the first push of the button is given as D, which means it is not a fixed value. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria of a binomial distribution.
