Lawrence likes to shoot a bow and arrow in his free time. On any shot, he has about a 10% chance of hitting the bull's-eye. As a challenge one day, Lawrence decides to keep shooting until he gets a bull's-eye. Let Y = the number of shots he takes. Does this scenario describe a binomial setting? Justify your answer. Yes, this is a binomial setting and X has a binomial distribution with n = 10 and p = 0.10. No, this is not a binomial setting because the probability of success is not the same for each trial. No, this is not a binomial setting because the trials are not independent. No, this is not a binomial setting because there are not a fixed number of trials. No, this is not a binomial setting because the given scenario is not binary.
