Answer:
There is a 73.11% probability that at least 2 machines will break down on a given day.
Step-by-step explanation:
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 combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem we have that:
There are 4 machines, so
.
The probability that on a given day any one machine will break down is 0.53. This means that
.
What is the probability that at least 2 machines will break down on a given day?

In which




So

There is a 73.11% probability that at least 2 machines will break down on a given day.
These are all linear equations:<span>y = 2x + 1
5x = 6 + 3y
<span>y/2 = 3 − x</span></span>
Think about it this way, that for every 5/6 pound bag you are losing 1/6 and 1/6*12=2 therefore the answer is 12
