Homework question? This is actually not a question of probability: if 95% of the parts are non-defective, then 0.95 * 500 = 475 parts are non-defective. So there is zero (0) probability that fewer than 472 parts are non-defective. The question is different when any part has a probability (chance) of 95% of being non-defective. This is a so called Binomial distribution. Google knows the answer.

The probability for heart disease in a population is 30 percent the probability for the flu in the population is 50 percent the probability of getting both is 10 percent why or why not?

When determining the probability that two events happen at the same time, you convert the percents to decimals and then multiply the percents together. Therefore, 30 percent, or .3, times 50 percent, or .5 .3 x .5 = .15 Converting back into a percentage, the answer is 15% probability that you will get both. 10% is therefore incorrect.
