In this scenario, you are asked to determine whether the situation described is a binomial experiment. Let's break it down:

Scenario:

A bowl of candy contains 26 Pluto Bars, 23 Jolly Farmers, 23 Husky's Kisses, 27 Finnish Fishes, and 20 HairHeads. Little Audrey pulls out pieces of candy without replacement until a Husky's Kiss is pulled.

Conditions for a Binomial Experiment:

A binomial experiment requires:

1. A fixed number of trials: Each trial has to be predetermined.
2. Two possible outcomes for each trial (e.g., success or failure).
3. Independent trials: The outcome of one trial should not affect the others.
4. Constant probability of success on each trial.

Analysis of the Scenario:

1. Variable is discrete: The number of candies pulled can be counted, so this is fine.
2. Fixed number of trials: There is no fixed number of trials because we don’t know how many candies will be pulled (it continues until a Husky's Kiss is pulled). This violates one of the conditions.
3. More than two outcomes: There are multiple types of candy, not just two, so there are more than two possible outcomes. This violates the "two possible outcomes" condition.
4. Trials are not independent: Since candies are pulled without replacement, each trial affects the next (probabilities change as candies are removed). This violates the independence condition.
5. Probability of success changes: The probability of pulling a Husky's Kiss changes after each candy is removed, which violates the constant probability condition.

Thus, the scenario is not a binomial experiment.

Which options should be checked:

• There is not a fixed number of trials.
• There are more than two outcomes.
• The trials are not independent.
• The probability of success is not the same for each trial.
