Answer:
a)P=0.42
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a binomial distribution, since the result of each experiment admits only two categories (success and failure) and the value of both possibilities is constant in all experiments. The probability of getting k successes in n trials is given by:

a) we have k=2, n=10 and p=0.01:

b) We have,
, Here P is the probability that at least one particle will penetrate the shield, this probabity has to be equal or greater than 0.95. Therefore, this will be equal to subtract from the total probability, the probability that the particles do not penetrate raised to the total number of particles.

The slope would be -5 over 7
Step-by-step explanation:
I didn't write language hope u get it
First, you need to set the equation equal to zero:
n^2 + 7n + 10 = 0
Now we factor. We need to find two numbers that add up to 7 and multiply to 10.
2 + 5 = 7
2 * 5 = 10
Now, we just need to write this as a polynomial:
(n + 2) (n + 5)
is our answer.
Hope this helps!
