Would the following examples qualify as binomial experiments? Explain your reasoning.
a. The number of people with blood type O-negative in a simple random sample of size 10 is recorded. According to the Information Please Almanac, 6% of the human population is blood type O-negative.
Yes:: p is consistent for each person selected; selection results are independent
--------------------------------------
b. A probability experiment in which three cards are drawn from a deck without replacement and the number of aces is recorded.
No:: Since the cards are not replaced p is not consistent for the 3 selections.
