Answer to Question 1

x is a binomial random variable because the trials are independent. n = 4, the number of trials; two outcomes, success = ace and failure = not ace; p = P(ace) = 4/52 and q = P(not ace) = 48/52; x = n (aces drawn in 4 trials) and could be any number 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 . Further, the probability of success (get an ace) remains 4/52 for each trial throughout the experiment, as long as the card drawn on each trial is replaced before the next trial occurs.
