Question 886856: Hi.
Any help with this problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

The employees at a General Motors assembly plant are polled as they leave work. Each is asked, �What brand of automobile are you riding home in?� The random variable to be reported is the number of each brand mentioned. Is x a binomial random variable? Justify your answer.

X is NOT a binomial random variable because their answer will NOT be either "yes" or "no" (or some other binary combo).

If there were only two brands of cars in the world, then it would be binomial. However, there are more than 2 brands of cars in the world.
