This problem is an example of a _____. a. multinomial population b. normally distributed variable c. uniformly distributed variable

Answer 1

A. Multinomial population

Step-by-step explanation:

A multinomial population has categorical data. In other words data in this form has different classes in which data is grouped into. These classes do not overlap and are more than two as opposed to binomial populations that have just two outcome variables or data categories. For example in the above data, we see that data is grouped into three categories:students in business college, students in liberal art college and students in education college
