Niacin is particularly important for men over 50 since it helps them to maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels. A researcher randomly selects 10 men over 50 years old and ascertains whether or not each individual's level of niacin in his bloodstream is high, average, or low.

Does this constitute a binomial experiment?

-Yes

-No, the trials are not identical.

-No, the requirement that each trial results in either a success or failure is not met.

-No, niacin levels are numerical so the outcome of each trial is not either a success or a failure.

-No, the value of p may not be constant from trial to trial.

Answer:

Option C) No, the requirement that each trial results in either a success or failure is not met.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions for binomial distribution:

  • There are n independent trials.
  • There are two outcomes for each trial either a success or a failure.
  • The probability of success for each trial is same.

Experiment:

To check whether or not each individual's level of niacin in his bloodstream is high, average, or low.

Thus, the given experiment is not a binomial distribution because

Option C) No, the requirement that each trial results in either a success or failure is not met.
