Question
Determine whether the given procedure results in a binomial distribution (or a distribution that can be treated as binomial). If the procedure is not binomial, identify at least one requirement that is not satisfied.
The YSORT method of sex selection, developed by the Genetics & IVF Institute, was designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. When
110
couples use the YSORT method and give birth to
110
babies, the sex of the babies is recorded.Does the procedure represent a binomial distribution?
Yes, because the procedure satisfies all the criteria for a binomial distribution.
No, because the trials of the procedure are not independent.
No, because there are more than two categories for each trial.
No, because the probability of success differs from trial to trial.

They pay a fee based on the number of potential customers who click on their ad. Unfortunately, click fraud—the practice of someone clicking on an ad solely for the purpose of driving up advertising revenue—has become a problem. According to BusinessWeek, 42% of advertisers claim they have been a victim of click fraud. Suppose a simple random sample of 220 advertisers will be taken to learn more about how they are affected by this practice. Use z-table. a.
