It is a binomial experiment.

Work Step by Step

1) The number of trials is a fixed number: 25 2) The probability of success for each trial is independent of the other trials. The probability that the fourth property crime was cleared by arrest or exceptional means does not depend of the result for the second property crime, for example. 3) A property crime was cleared by arrest or exceptional means or not: $P(success~and~failure)=0$ 4) The probability that a randomly selected property crime was cleared by arrest or exceptional means is the same for any property crime: 16% = 0.16.
