Question

what does it mean to say that the trials in a binomial experiment are independent of each other? choose the correct answer below. a. the outcome of one trial does not affect the outcomes of the other trials. b. each trial will result in either success or failure. c. no more than one trial can occur at a time. d. the outcome of one trial does affect the outcome of the next trial.

Explanation:

In a binomial experiment, independence of trials means the result of one trial has no influence on the results of other trials. Option A correctly states this. Option B describes the nature of the outcome of a single - trial (success or failure), not independence. Option C is about the occurrence rate of trials, not independence. Option D is the opposite of independence.

Answer:

A. The outcome of one trial does not affect the outcomes of the other trials.
