According to the 2000 U. S. Census Bureau, 49.65% of Texas residents were male.

Consider the experiment of selecting ten Texans at random. If you are interested in determining the probabilities of selecting x males, is this a binomial probability distribution? And if so, what are the values of n, p, and q?

a. Yes; n = 0.4965, p = 10, q = 0.5035

b. No

c. Yes; n = 0.5035, p = 10, q = 0.4965

d. Yes; n = 10, p = 0.4965, q = 0.5035
