Question
Biologists estimate that a randomly selected baby elk has a 44% chance of surviving to adulthood. Assume this estimate is correct. Suppose researchers choose 7 baby elk at random to monitor. Let \( X = \) the number that survive to adulthood.

**Does this scenario describe a binomial setting? Justify your answer.**

- ⃝ This is not a binomial setting. The probability of success is not the same for each trial.
- ⃝ This is not a binomial setting. The number of trials are not fixed in advance.
- ⃝ This is a binomial setting and \( X \) has a binomial distribution with \( n = 7 \) and \( p = 0.44 \).
- ⃝ This is not a binomial setting. The given scenario is not binary.
- ⃝ This is not a binomial setting. We cannot reasonably assume that the outcomes are independent.
