Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

[tex]\displaystyle P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^xq^{n-x}\\\\P(X=5)=\binom{53}{5}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X=5)=\frac{53!}{(53-5)!*5!}(0.042)^5(0.958)^{48}\\\\P(X=5)\approx0.0478[/tex]

Part B

[tex]P(X\leq5)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\\\P(X\leq5)=\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^1(1-0.042)^{53-1}+\binom{53}{2}(0.042)^2(1-0.042)^{53-2}+\binom{53}{3}(0.042)^3(1-0.042)^{53-3}+\binom{53}{4}(0.042)^4(1-0.042)^{53-4}+\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X\leq5)\approx0.9767[/tex]

Part C

[tex]\displaystyle P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)\\\\P(X\geq1)=1-(1-0.042)^{53}\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx1-0.1029\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx0.8971[/tex]
