The Binomial Distribution · Example 1

Decide whether each of the following is a binomial experiment. For those that aren’t, identify which criterion or criteria are violated.

(a) You roll a standard 6-sided die 10 times and write down the number that appears each time.
(b) You roll a standard 6-sided die 10 times and write down whether the die shows a 6 or not.
(c) You roll a standard 6-sided die until you get a 6.
(d) You roll a standard 6-sided die 10 times. On the first roll, we define “success” as rolling a 4 or greater. After the first roll, we define “success” as rolling a number greater than the result of the previous roll.
