Question 1203620: A meteorologist at Bvumbwe research station recorded the number of days of
rain during a 30-day period. If the random variable X is denoted as the number
of days of rain, does X have a binomial distribution? If not, why not? If so,
are both values of n and p known?

X does not have a binomial distribution.

Why not? Because X does not have two outcomes only.

Instead X has the outcomes from the set {0,1,2,3,4,...,29,30} to represent the number of days of rain for the 30-day period.
