Let X represent the number of bulbs that will fuse after $150$ days of use. Trials = 5

$P=0.005$

$q=1-0.005=1-0.005=0.95$

X has a binomial distribution with n = 5.

$\therefore \, \, \, \, P(X=x)=^nC_x.q^{n-x}.p^x$

$P(X=x)=^5C_x.$ $(0.95)^{5-x} . (0.05)^{x}$

Put $X> 1$ ,

$P(X> 1)=1-(P(X=0)+P(X=1))$

$=1-(^5C_0.$ $(0.95)^{5} . (0.05)^{0}+^5C_1 (0.95)^{4} . (0.05)^{1})$

$=1-((0.95)^{5}+ (0.25)(0.95)^4)$

$=1-((0.95)^{4}(0.95+ 0.25))$

$=1-(0.95)^{4}\times 1.2$
