What you need to do is find the smallest multiple that they both have (i forgot what that is called) list them like this:
12: 24 36 48 60 72
15: 30 45 60 75
60 is the lowest number that they both can multiply to
60 cups/lids is the answer

3 0

A real estate agent has 19 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 30% chance of selling any one property during a

Answer:

$P(X \geq 5)=1-P(X$

We can find the individual probabilities:

$P(X=0)=(19C0)(0.3)^0 (1-0.3)^{19-0}=0.00114$

$P(X=1)=(19C1)(0.3)^1 (1-0.3)^{19-1}=0.0092$

$P(X=2)=(19C2)(0.3)^2 (1-0.3)^{19-2}=0.0358$

$P(X=3)=(19C3)(0.3)^3 (1-0.3)^{19-3}=0.0869$

$P(X=4)=(19C4)(0.3)^4 (1-0.3)^{19-4}=0.1491$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 5) = 1-[0.00114+0.009282+0.0358+0.0869+0.149]= 0.7178$

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=19, p=0.3)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

And we want to find this probability:

$P(X \geq 5)$

And we can use the complement rule:
