Determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution (or a distribution that can be treated as binomial). If the procedure is not binomial, identify at least one requirement that is not satisfied. Six different senators from the current U.S. Congress are randomly selected without replacement and whether or not they've served over 2 terms is recorded. Does the probability experiment represent a binomial experiment? A. No, because the trials of the experiment are not independent and the probability of success differs from trial to trial. B. No, because there are more than two mutually exclusive outcomes for each trial. C. No, because the experiment is not performed a fixed number of times. O D. Yes, because the experiment satisfies all the criteria for a binomial experiment.
