The appropriate distribution to use in this scenario is binomial distribution. Binomial distribution is suitable for situations where we have a fixed number of trials, each trial has only two possible outcomes (success or failure), the outcomes are independent, and the probability of success is constant across all trials. In this case, the hotel accepts 100 room reservations daily, and each reservation has only two possible outcomes (guest shows up or doesn't show up), the outcomes are independent, and the probability of a guest not showing up is constant at 7%. Therefore, binomial distribution is the most appropriate choice for this scenario.
