Determine whether the binomial distribution is an appropriate model for the probability distribution of the given experiment. Randomly interview 200 students about whether they favor a campus issue and count the number of yes responses. Assume that none of the students interviewed refuses to answer the question.

Introduction to the binomial distribution
In a recent survey, the following data was obtained in response to the question, "If the Number of summer classes were increased, would you be more likely to enroll in one or more of them?" Class YES NO NO OPINION FRESHMAN 14 12 11 SOPHOMORES 15 10 8 If a student is selected at random, then find the probability that the student (Approximate answer to three decimal places) (1) said No = (2) is a freshman or made No Opinion is = (3) is a sophomore and said Yes to the issue = (4) said No or Yes = (5) said No Opinion given that he is a freshmen = (6) the student is a freshmen given that he said No Opinion =
