Step 1
Probability of success = p
probability of failure = 1 p
total trials = n
Hence,
a) the probability of no successes
= ( 1 p ) n
b) the probability of at least one success
= 1 probability of no success = 1 ( 1 p ) n
c) the probability of at most one success
= probability of no success + probability of one success = n C 0 p 0 ( 1 p ) n + n C 1 p 1 ( 1 p ) n 1
d) the probability of at least two successes
= 1 probability of atmost one success = 1 [ n C 0 p 0 ( 1 p ) n + n C 1 p 1 ( 1 p ) n 1 ]

Step 1
e) the probability of no failures
= all successes
= p n
f) the probability of at least one failure
= 1 probability of all successes = 1 p n
g) the probability of at most one failure
= probability of no failure + probability of one failure = n C n p n ( 1 p ) 0 + n C n 1 p n 1 ( 1 p ) 1
h) the probability of at least two failures
= 1 probability of at most one failure = 1 [ n C n p n ( 1 p ) 0 + n C n 1 p n 1 ( 1 p ) 1 ]
