In Wheel of Fortune, each potential outcome (i.e. the different prizes or dollar amounts on the wheel) is equally likely to be landed on, meaning that the probability of winning the special vacation package is the same as the probability of landing on any other particular space on the wheel. This evenly distributed probability is characteristic of a uniform distribution. The other options (binomial, exponential, and normal distributions) are not appropriate for this scenario as they are designed to model different types of random events with specific characteristics.
