Question

Determine whether or not the given procedure results in a binomial distribution. If not, identify which condition is not met. Spinning an American roulette wheel 8282 times and recording the number the ball lands on.

Answer 1

No, binomial distribution cannot be applied.

Explanation:

We known that a Binomial Distribution depends on provided experiment , a binomial distribution have only 2 outcomes. For example, when we flip a coin in the air, then the possible outcomes are Head and Tail.

But in the context, an American roulette wheel has
`37` outcomes. It means when we spin the American Roulette wheel, ball may lend on any of the numbers between 0 to 36. So there are more than
`2` outcomes.

Therefore, binomial distribution can not be applied here.
