Question 462350
Five jelly beans are selected, one at a time from a bowl containing 6 black, 6 red and 6 green jelly beans. Let x represent the number of red jelly beans selected in 5 draws from the bowl. 

(A) If this experiment is completed without replacing the jelly beans, explain why x is not a binomial random variable.
---
The probability for each trial will change after each draw.
