You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each time that a certain alarm clock is set, it has a 95% chance of ringing properly.
---------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 5 and p(proper) = 0.95 ; p(fails) = 0.05

If it is set to ring every morning for five days, what is the probability that it rings properly every morning?
Ans:: P(x = 5) = 0.95^5 = 0.7738
------------------------------------
it fails to ring at least one morning?
Ans: P(fails at least once in 5) = 1- P(correct every day) = 0.2262
