7.10 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

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

  1. You roll a standard 6-sided die 10 times and write down the number that appears each time.
  2. You roll a standard 6-sided die 10 times and write down whether the die shows a 6 or not.
  3. You roll a standard 6-sided die until you get a 6.
  4. 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.
