Question 606772: four cards are selected, one at a time from a standard deck of 52 cards. Let x represent the number of aces drawn in a set of 4 cards.

By definition, a binomial random variable includes independent trials. Since keeping the card alters the probability of drawing an ace in future trials, the experiment in a) is not a binomial variable.
