Step-by-step explanation

The binomial probability distribution formula is given as


P(x)=(n!)/((n-x)!x!)p^xq^(n-x)

From the question, we have that n=6, x =1 and p =0.3. Hence, q = 1-p =0.7

Therefore, we will have that


\begin{gathered} P(1)=(6!)/((6-1)!1!)(0.3)^1(0.7)^(6-1) \\ P(1)=(6!)/(5!1!)(0.3)(0.7)^5 \\ =(6*5!)/(5!*1)(0.3)(0.7)^5 \\ =6(0.3)(0.7)^5 \\ =0.3*\:1.00842 \\ =0.3025 \end{gathered}

Answer: 0.3025
