1) Each child born to a particular set of parents has probability 0.35 of having a blood type B. Suppose these parents have 5 children. a) Can the trials be considered independent? b) How many possible outcomes do you have for this experiment? c) From a and b, is it reasonable to consider this experiment a binomial experiment? d) What is the probability that exactly 2 of their 5 children have type B blood? (Hint: Use your result from c)
