Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The uniform distribution would be the best choice to compute the probability of winning the special vacation package in a single spin in the game of Wheel of Fortune because the outcome of each spin is equally likely, and the probability of winning is the same for each spin. Therefore, the distribution of winning the special vacation package is uniform. The other three distributions would not be appropriate because they are either continuous (exponential and normal) or require a fixed number of trials (binomial), which cannot be applied to a single spin in the game.
