No because a binomial experiment has two outcomes. This one only has one because there is only one trial.

"You select 2 of them and putting each back in the bowl after it is selected."

That is not proper English; it is unclear what is really being done.

Therefore, your question can't be answered.

.

The notion "experiment", and especially "statistical experiment" NECESARILY includes
some MEASUREMENT or observation :
color, or weigh, or height, or age, or type of cards, and so on . . . and then calculation some probability.

Nothing of that is in your description.

Therefore, this formulation does not represent neither experiment, nor statistical experiment, at all.

It is simply a collection of English words written in one line without any reasonable/visible sense.
