In the US, we categorize adolescent girls as either anemic, border line anemic or as having a normal level of iron in their blood. Suppose 10% of adolescent girls are anemic, 15% are border line anemic and the rest have normal iron levels in their blood. Suppose a doctor randomly selects 5 adolescent girls, tests the blood of each, and counts the number who have less than a normal amount of iron in their blood. Is this a binomial experiment?
