Which of the following is not a characteristic of a multinomial experiment?

A) The experiment consists of a fixed number, n, of trials.
B) The outcome of each trial can be classified into one of two categories called successes and failure.
C) The probabilitythat the outcome will fall into cell i remain constant for each trial.
D) Each trial of the experiment is independent of the other trials.
E) The experiment consists of a fixed number, n, of trials and the outcome of each trial can be classified into one of two categories called successes and failure.

Multinomial Experiment

An experiment involving outcomes that can fall into one of several categories, generalizing binomial experiments.

Fixed Number

A value that remains constant and does not change in different situations or equations.

Independent Trials

Refer to experiments or trials in which the outcome of any single trial does not affect the outcomes of any other trials.

  • Understand the characteristics of multinomial experiments and their relevance to chi-square tests.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A multinomial experiment involves more than two possible outcomes or categories, so option B which states that the outcome can only be classified as success or failure is not a characteristic of a multinomial experiment.
