A university scholarship committee must select two students to receive a scholarship for the next academic year. The committee receives 10 applications for the scholarship, 6 from students applying in-state and 4 students applying out-of-state. Suppose the applicants are all equally qualified, so that the selections are randomly made. Let the random variable, X, be the number of in-state students who receive a scholarship. Would this situation fit a binomial setting or what condition is not met? O a. This situation would fit the binomial setting. O b. This situation would not fit the binomial setting since there are not a fixed number of trials. Oc This situation would not fit the binomial setting since the probability of success is not the same from trial to trial. O d. This situation would not fit the binomial setting since there are not two possible outcomes at each trial.
