2 answers:
Answer: There are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.
Step-by-step explanation:
since we have given that
Length of a ribbon is given by
Length of pieces of ribbon cut into strips is given by
So, we need to find the number of strips that can be cut is given by
Hence, there are 3 strips that can be cut from the roll of ribbon.

Answer:
{0.16807, 0.36015, 0.3087, 0.1323, 0.02835, 0.00243}
Step-by-step explanation:
The expansion of (p+q)^n for n = 5 is ...
(p+q)^5 = p^5 +5·p^4·q +10·p^3·q^2 +10·p^2·q^3 +5·p·q^4 +q^5
When the probability p=0.3 and q = 1-p = 0.7 the terms of this series correspond to the probabilities of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0 favorable outcomes out of 5 trials.
For example, p^5 = 0.3^5 = 0.00243 is the probability of 5 favorable outcomes in 5 trials where the probability of each favorable outcome is 0.3.
___
The attachment shows the calculation of these numbers using a graphing calculator. It lists them in reverse order of the expansion of (p+q)^5 shown above, so that they are the probabilities of 0–5 favorable outcomes in the order 0–5.
