A biologist randomly selects 10 portions of water, each equal to .1 cm3 in volume, from the local reservoir and counts the number of bacteria present in each portion. The biologist then totals the number of bacteria for the 10 portions to obtain an estimate of the number of bacteria per cubic centimeter present in the reservoir water. Is this a binomial experiment

Student B  has steps in correct order.

Student A has steps in the incorrect order

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the steps of construct a line parallel to a given line from a given point.

- From the figure:

- Given Line AB and point C ∉ to line AB

Steps:

- Draw line BC

- Put the pin on the compass at point B and draw an arc intersects AB and BC at  points D,E

- Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the compass at point C and draw an arc intersects BC at point F

- Measure the distance between points D and E by the compass and place the pin of the compass at point F and draw an arc with the same distance of DE to cut the arc created from line BC at point C and label the point of intersection of the two arcs by G

- Join the points C and G by l line which is parallel to line AB

Hope this helps! Have a blessed day!
