Question
Mark the correct alternative in the following question:
Which one is not a requirement of a binomial dstribution?
Options
There are 2 outcomes for each trial
There is a fixed number of trials
The outcomes must be dependent on each other
The probability of success must be the same for all the trials.
Solution
Since, the trials of the binomial distribution are independent
So, the outcomes should not be dependent on each other
