Suppose an electronics manufacturer knows from previous data that 1.5% of

one type of an electronic component are defective. The quality control
inspector randomly selects components until a defective one is found. Is this
a binomial experiment? Why or why not?
A. This is a binomial experiment, because the situation satisfies all
four conditions for a binomial experiment.
B. This is not a binomial experiment, because the trials are not
independent
C. This is not a binomial experiment, because each trial cannot be
classified as a success or failure.
D. This is not a binomial experiment, because the number of trials is
not fixed.

Answer: The answer is D: This is not a binomial experiment, because the number of trails is not fixed.
