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 gender selection, developed by the Genetics & IVF Institute, was designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a boy. When 150 couples use the YSORT method and give birth to 150 babies, the genders of the babies are recorded. Does the procedure represent a binomial distribution? A. No, because there are more than two categories for each trial. B. No, because the trials of the procedure are not independent. C. Yes, because the procedure satisfies all the criteria for a binomial distribution. D. No, because the probability of success differs from trial to trial.

The number of couples who used YSORT method (x) = 150
That is, the number of couples who used YSORT method is limited or defined or definite.
The probability of giving birth to a boy, for each couple is 1/2 or 0.5
The gender of the baby born in each case mutually exclusive (Independent)

We can conclude that the procedure results in a binomial distribution because the assumptions of the binomial distribution are met.

Cheers!
