Answer:
90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper
Step-by-step explanation:
For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it contains a golden sheet of paper, or it does not. The probability of a container containing a golden sheet of paper is independent of other containers. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.
At Munder Difflin Paper Company, the manager Mitchell Short randomly places golden sheets of paper inside of 30% of their paper containers.
This means that 
14 of these containers of paper.
This means that 
What is the probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper?

In which









90.67% probability that John finds less than 7 golden sheets of paper
-5x - 49 > 113
Add 49 to both sides
-5x > 162
Divide both sides by -5
x > -32.4

A^2+b^2=c^2
Is the Pythagorean theorem
You can use the identity
cos(x)² +sin(x)² = 1
to find sin(x) from cos(x) or vice versa.
(1/4)² +sin(x)² = 1
sin(x)² = 1 - 1/16
sin(x) = ±(√15)/4
Then the tangent can be computed as the ratio of sine to cosine.
tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (±(√15)/4)/(1/4)
tan(x) = ±√15
There are two possible answers.
In the first quadrant:
sin(x) = (√15)/4
tan(x) = √15
In the fourth quadrant:
sin(x) = -(√15)/4
tan(x) = -√15
First, factor the expression on the top. What two numbers add to get 8 and multiply to 15? 5 and 3! so the top expression factors to (x+3)(x+5). You can cancel the x+3 from the denominator and end up with x+5. Make sense?
