I have all these different formulas and tables but I am not quite sure what to use.
I have all these different distribution equations and tables. But again don't know what to use. Please tell me what kind of distribution it is and why
We primarily only studied distributions and have a test.

Hey bustacap09.
Hint: Think in terms of P(X0 = 1, X1 = 1, X2 = 1, [X3 = 1 OR X4 = 1]) and remember when A and B are independent, then P(A and B) = P(A)P(B)
