Problem 14E
Identifying and Understanding Binomial Experiments In Exercise, determine whether the experiment is a binomial experiment. If it is, identify a success, specify the values of n, p, and q, and list the possible values of the random variable x. If it is not a binomial experiment, explain why.
Generation A survey found that 68% of adults ages 18 to 25 think that their generation is unique and distinct. Twelve adults ages 18 to 25 are randomly selected. The random variable represents the number of adults ages 18 to 25 who think that their generation is unique and distinct.

ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 2:
We have to identify whether the given experiment is binomial or not.
The result of a survey states that 68% of adults ages 18 to 25 think that their generation is unique and distinct.
Twelve adults ages 18 to 25 are randomly selected.
The random variable represents the number of adults ages 18 to 25 who think that their generation is unique and distinct.
We also want to find the values of n, p, and q, and the possible values of the random variable, if it is binomial experiment.
