Determine whether the following probability experiment represents a binomial experiment and explain the reason for your answer. An investor randomly purchases 13 stocks listed on a stock exchange. Historically, the probability that a stock listed on this exchange will increase in value over the course of a year is 46%. The number of stocks that increase in value is recorded.
