Question:
In an experiment, 43% of lab mice cells exposed to chemically produced cat Mups responded positively (i.e., recognized the danger of the lurking predator). Consider a sample of 100 lab mice cells, each exposed to chemically produced cat Mups. Let x represent the number of cells that respond positively. Complete parts a through d below.
a) Explain why the probability distribution of x can be approximated by the binomial distribution. (Fill in the blanks)
There are ___#___ identical trials.
b) For each trial, there are _____________ possible outcome(s). (a, b, or c).
a. are two
b. is one
c. are many
c) The probability of each possible outcome ________ for each trial, (a. or b.)
a. is the same
b. is different
d) and the trials are all
a. related.
b. independent.
