Use the binomial expansion of (p + q)^n to calculate n = 5 and p = 0.3.
\n" ); document.write( "a. 0.15 + .006807 + 0.03045 + 0.26537 + 0.197373 + 0.35
\n" ); document.write( "b. 0.00243 + 0.02835 + 0.1323 + 0.3087 + 0.36015 + 0.16807
\n" ); document.write( "c. 0.00243 + .0.02835 + 0.2646 + 0.3697 + 0.20105 + 0.13397
\n" ); document.write( "
I take it that you must be doing BINOMIAL EXPANSION. You should also be familiar with p and q, or probability of success (p), and probability of failure (q). 
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, with p being .3, q MUST = 1 - .3, or .7
\n" );
document.write( "\"%28p+%2B+q%29%5E5\" now becomes: \"%28.3+%2B+.7%29%5E5\"
\n" );
document.write( "Now, as we have a binomial being raised to the 5th power, we're going to have 6 (six) expressions after the binomial has been expanded.
\n" );
document.write( "All choices have 6 expressions so none of the choices can be eliminated.
\n" );
document.write( "You now need to use what you know about the BINOMIAL EXPANSION formula, and PASCAL'S TRIANGLE, to help you get your answer.
\n" );
document.write( "I'll give you a HINT: It's NOT choice a. \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
