Question 662810: A burglar breaks a stained-glass window to enter a property. 20% of the window glass is red and all the broken glass fragments are well-mixed together on the floor. When he is arrested a short time later, 10 fragments of glass are found embedded in his new shoes. Assuming all this glass comes from the broken window and that all color fragments adhere equally, calculate the following:
Question 1. The probability of no red fragments in his shoes.
1 (use 4 decimal places)
Question 2. The probability of 1 red fragment in his shoes. 2 (use 4 decimal places)
Question 3. The probability of 5 red fragments in his shoes. 3 (use 4 decimal places)
