Answer #1

Here the event success is getting a card of jack.

In general for binomial distribution, probability of success is same for each trial.

But here the probability of success for first trial is 4/52. Probability of success for second trial given that jack is drawn on first trial = 3/51. Probability of success for second trial given that jack is not drawn on first trial = 4/51.

Since probability of success is not same for each trial, this is not a binomial distribution
