Expert Solution
Step 1 (a)

Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three subparts for you. To get remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved

The probability of getting success is,

p=P(4 or 5)   =P(4) +P(5)   =15+15    =25

Consider X be the random variable representing the number of success. 

X follows binomial distribution with n=10 and p = 2/5

 

The probability of getting exactly one success is,
