Question

Jeanette really loves apple-flavored Fruity Tooty candies, but there always seems to be a lot of cherry-flavored candies in each bag. To determine whether this is because cherry candies are so popular or because each bag contains fewer apple candies, Jeanette randomly picks a Fruity Tooty candy from her bag, records its flavor, and places it back in the bag. Each bag contains a mixture of cherry, grape, apple, lemon, and orange flavors.

Which statement about Jeanette's distribution of sample proportions is true?

A.) The count of drawing an apple candy is not a binomial distribution.

B.) The distribution of the count of picking a cherry candy cannot be modeled as approximately normal if Jeanette picks candies over 100 times.

C.) The count of drawing an orange candy has a binomial distribution.

D.) The distribution of the count of picking a lemon candy can be modeled as approximately normal if Jeanette picks candies 15 times.
