A relatively new technique, balloon angioplasty, is widely used to open clogged heart valves and vessels. The balloon is inserted via a catheter and is inflated, opening the vessel; thus, no surgery is required. Left untreated, 50% of the people with heart-valve disease die within about 2 years. If experience with this technique suggests that approximately 70% live for more than 2 years, would the next five patients of the patients treated with balloon angioplasty at a hospital constitute a binomial experiment with n = 5, π = .70? Why or why not?
