Answer:

a) 2.60x10^-7

b) 5.31x10^-5

c) 2.19x10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

X=number of hits

The probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of all outcomes.

Then

a) P(X=6)=P({1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1})=6/40*5/39*4/38*3/37*2/36*1/35=2.60x10^-7

b) P(X=5)=P({0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1})+P({1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1})+...+P({1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0}), every one of these have the same probability

P(X=5)=6P({1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0})=6*(6/40*5/39*4/38*3/37*2/36*34/35)=5.31x10^-5

c) P(X=4)=P({0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1})+...+P({1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0}) every one of these have the same probability.
