Question 1052063: This is part c of the following problem. I did the problem and got the correct answer.
A missile guidance system has 5 fail safe components. The probability of each failing is 0.05. Find the probability that all will fail.
ANSWER = (5C5) (0.05)^5 (0.95)^0 = (1) (0.05)^5 (0.95)^0 = 0.0000003125 = 3.125 x 10^-7 = basically equals a zero chance of all 5 failing.
Is it also possible to use the binomial table to get the answer?

Yes, if the table goes to that level of accuracy.
