(b) There is a fixed number of trials
(c) The outcomes must be dependent on each other
(d) The probability of success must be the same for all the trials.

Solution

Since, the trials of the binomial distribution are independent

So, the oucomes should not be dependent on each other

Hence, the correct alternative is option (c).

Which of the following arguments are correct and which are not correct? Give reasons for your answer.

(i) If two coins are tossed simultaneously there are three possible outcomes−−two heads, two tails or one of each. Therefore, for each of these outcomes, the probability is.

(ii) If a die is thrown, there are two possible outcomes−−an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number is.
