Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Here are four counts.
How many of the four counts are binomial? Say which condition fails for each of the others.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Count 1. Two outcomes, , , seeds that do not affect each other. Binomial.
Step 2. Count 2. Each card drawn changes the cards left, and three cards are of ten. The trials are not independent.
Step 3. Count 3. The number of rolls is not fixed in advance.
Step 4. Count 4. Two outcomes, , , independent. Binomial.
Answer: of the four counts, the first and the last, are binomial.

A count is binomial when there are two outcomes, independent trials, a fixed number of trials and the same chance . One order with successes has probability , and there are orders.
