Louberto would like to predict the number of acceptances into college. At each college he applies to, he can either be accepted (A) or rejected (R). Louberto plans on applying to 5 colleges initially. If he is accepted by fewer than 3 colleges, he will apply to an additional 5 colleges. The probability of acceptance is .40 at all of the colleges. Is the number of acceptances distributed binomial?
