Which below is not an example of geometric settings?

Rolling a die until you roll a 2

Blindly throwing darts until you get a bulls eye

Shooting free throws until you make one

Playing the lottery even after you win

Answer 1

geometric setting: Each observation falls into either a Success or a Failure.
The probability of success is the same for each observation...

Answer 2

Rolling a die until you roll a 2 - is and example of geometric setting

Blindly throwing darts until you get a bulls eye - is and example of geometric setting

Shooting free throws until you make one...nuh uh

Playing the lottery even after you win - is and example of geometric setting

Answer 3

* is an, not and, sorry

Answer 4

Rolling a die until you roll a 2 - always a 1 in 6 chance

Blindly throwing darts until you get a bulls eye - blindly, so always the same chance

Shooting free throws until you make one...nuh uh

Playing the lottery even after you win - same amount of numbers from the same pool, so always the same chance

Answer 5

C

Answer 7

my bad: In a geometric setting, the answer is based on the number of trials necessary to generate the first successful trial.

Answer 8

so D

Answer 9

as you've alreaady won the lottery, but u keep playing

Answer 10

i initially thought C as you'd keep adjusting your aim until u got it in, so it's not the same % chance, but its D, the lottery one

Answer 11

i need help on 5 more
