Answer: No, the experiment is not binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula for a binomial distribution :

nCx * p^k * q^(n - x)

n = number of trials (fixed)

x = number of success on trial

p = probability of success (which is the same for each trial).

q = (1 - p) = probability of failure (same for each trial)

Binomial experiment have binary outcome ; Either Success or Failure

The experiment described above :

Number of trials is satisfied (8 picks)

Binary outcome (matches on ticket or match does not exist).
