6. An electronics manufacturer knows from previous data that 3% of one type of electronic component are defective. The quality control inspector randomly selects components until a defective one is found. Is this a binomial experiment? Why or why not? Answer choices: No, because each trial cannot be classified as a success or failure. No, because the number of trials is not fixed. No, because the trials are not independent. Yes, because the situation satisfies all four conditions for a binomial experiment.
