Answer:

Yes, as for each trial there are only two possible outcomes, the trials are independent, and the number of trials is fixed.

Explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they respond favorably, or they do not. The probability of a student responding favorably is independent of any other student, and the number of trials is fixed. Thus, this probability experiment represents a binomial experiment.
