I answered questions (a) and (b) and noticed in that my post that question (c) is the same as (b)
and your question (d) makes no sense.

So PLEASE stop posting unnecessary duplicates.

        The solution by @ewatrrr is ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

        This problem IS NOT on binomial distribution.

        I repeated it MANY TIMES at this forum and can repeat it again:

    This women chronically can not solve combinatoric problems,
    as well as elementary probability problems.
    She does not know the subject and does not know the basics.

    Avoid her posts on the subject (combinatorics and elementary probability).
    They practically ALL are wrong (!)

    Concretely in this case, ignore her solution (!)

Hi As You work Your way thru statistical analysis, Have hope! Binomial, Normal and Poisson Distributions are on the way! Distributions one can easily use their calculator as a very good friend. Events outlined here were not Independent of each other, as is a criteria for Binomial distribution. It entertains Events like coin flipping, rolling dice, wheel spins, shooting baskets and many similar. Wish You the Best in your Studies.
