Question 1169547: A recent article in the paper claims that business ethics are at an all-time low. Reporting on a recent sample, the paper claims that 39% of all employees believe their company president possesses low ethical standards. Suppose 20 of a company's employees are randomly and independently sampled and asked if they believe their company president has low ethical standards and their years of experience at the company. Could the probability distribution for the number of years of experience be modelled by a binomial probability distribution?
No, the employees would not be considered independent in the present sample.
Yes, the sample is a random and independent sample.
No, a binomial distribution requires only two possible outcomes for each experimental unit sampled.
Yes, the sample size is n = 20.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
I read in your post
"Suppose 20 of a company's employees are randomly and independently sampled and asked if they believe
their company president has low ethical standards and their years of experience at the company."
I do not understand clearly, what this sentence means.
Could you PLEASE explain/clarify it ?
I also read the next sentence
"Could the probability distribution for the number of years of experience be modelled by a binomial probability distribution?"
and do not understand its meaning, too.
Could you PLEASE explain/clarify what the last cited sentence mean and
how it is logically connected with the previous part of your post ?
Thank you very much . . .
