  1. P(none)0.00240.3^5. And means multiply.
  2. P(at least one)0.99761 − 0.3^5. Always use the complement.
  3. P(all 5)0.16810.7^5
  4. P(exactly 4)0.36015 × 0.7^4 × 0.3^1. The 5 counts the orders.
  5. P(at most 4)0.8319Add exactly 0 through 4
  6. P(at least 4)0.52821 − P(at most 3)
  7. P(exactly 4 | at least one)0.3610.3601 ÷ 0.9976. Given at least one, so that is the new total.
  8. Expected number np3.55 × 0.7
  9. SD √(npq)1.0247√(5 × 0.7 × 0.3)
