Question 977932: Check if the following random variable is binomial.
A business has 20 sales representatives. Five of the sales representatives are randomly selected (without replacement) and the number of females selected is recorded.
Now, give the number corresponding to the following choices:
1: It is binomial.
2: It is not binomial because there is not a fixed number of trials.
3: It is not binomial because there are not two outcomes (success/failure).
4: It is not binomial because the probability is not fixed.
