Start by doing the binomial expansion of (x+y)^6 where x represents success. This is

(x^6y^0) + 6(x^5y^1) +15(x^4y^2) +20(x^3y^3) +15(x^2y^4) +6(x^1y^5) +(x^0y^6)

We are interested in the x^3y^3 term which represents exactly 3 sucesses. Since the probalbility of sucess and failure are both .5 we should be able to figure this out just using the coefficients of the terms which is

20/64 = .3125 which is 31.25%

What would a piece 430 feet 3 inches cost if you get a 10% discount for the larger volume? A piece of wire cable 180 ½ feet long

To get the answer to this question you would have to multiply these numbers.
The normal price appears to be 65.95 for 180.5 feet.
First we could divide 430.25 by 180.5
This divides out to become 2.39027778.
We would then multiply This by our normal price for 180.5 feet, which is 65.95.
This gives us 157.63882.
We would next need to take the 10 percent off. The easiest way to do this is to multiply our price by .90
This would give us 141.484938.
