Is each of the following scenarios a binomial setting? If not, explain why.

a) Honda motorcycles pulls one motorcycle off the assembly line each hour to conduct a thorough quality control inspection. One variable recorded is the total number of visual defects to the finish (scratches, imperfections, etc.).

d) 40 students take an A.P. Statistics class online and subsequently take the A.P. exam in May. Let X be the number of students who pass (score a 3, 4, or 5) the exam.
