A binomial experiment is an experiment where you have a fixed number of independent traits with only two possible outcomes.For example, you conduct a survey of a group of 300 people to ask if they voted for Donald Trump. This is a binomial experiment because it has a fixed number of trials (300) there are only two possible outcomes (yes/no), the outcomes are independent of each other as one person's answer doesn't affect another person's response, and the probability of success remains the same for each trial (50/50).

If in the small group of 50 people, we ask the same question as you did in the example to 10 people, would this be a binomial experiment?
