Biologists estimate that a randomly selected baby elk has a 44% chance of surviving to adulthood. Assume this estimate is correct. Suppose researchers choose 7 baby elk at random to monitor. Let X = the number that survive to adulthood. Does this scenario describe a binomial setting? Justify your answer. This is not a binomial setting. The probability of success is not the same for each trial. This is not a binomial setting. The number of trails are not fixed in advance. This is a binomial setting and X has a binomial distribution with n = 7 and p = 0.44. This is not a binomial setting. The given scenario is not binary. This is not a binomial setting. We cannot reasonably assume that the outcomes are independent.
