    A binomial distribution can only be used when there are 2 possible outcomes, no more, no less.

    Looking at the situations given you are able to use a binomial distribution in 2 cases.

    First is the quarter being flipped 3 times. There are only two possibilities (Heads or Tails).

    Second is the 3 marbles being pulled out of the bag. There are only two types of marbles (Green and Blue).
