Answer:
0.1426 = 14.26% probability that at least one of the births results in a defect.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each birth, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it results in a defect, or it does not. The probability that a birth results in a defect is independent of any other birth. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
The proportion of U.S. births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This means that 
A local hospital randomly selects five births.
This means that 
What is the probability that at least one of the births results in a defect?
This is:

In which



0.1426 = 14.26% probability that at least one of the births results in a defect.
Number of bottles of juice are needed for 24 students = 4
Number of bottles of juice are needed for 42 students = 7
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that cafeteria worker knows that it takes 3 bottles of juice to serve a table of 18 students
<em><u>To find :</u></em>
1) Number of bottles of juice are needed for 24 students
2) Number of bottles of juice are needed for 42 students
Since its given that 3 bottles of juice to serve a table of 18 students
So, number of bottles required for one student is given as:
Let "a" be the number of bottles required for one student
18 students ⇒ 3 bottles
1 student ⇒ "a" bottles
On cross multiplication we get,

<h3><em><u>
Finding number of bottles of juice are needed for 24 students:</u></em></h3>
number of bottles of juice are needed for 24 students = 24 x number of bottle required for 1 student

<h3><em><u>
Finding number of bottles of juice are needed for 42 students:</u></em></h3>
number of bottles of juice are needed for 42 students = 42 x number of bottle required for 1 student

Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).
Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.
Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20
