The probability that a patient recovers from a disease is 0.3. If 6 people are known to have contacted the disease, what is the probability that at least 4 survive? ​

0.07047

Step-by-step explanation:

at least 4 people survive is

4 people survive and 2 don't +

5 people survive and 1 doesn't +

all 6 people survive

the probability of 4 people to survive is the product of the individual probabilities :

0.3×0.3×0.3×0.3 = 0.3⁴ = 0.0081

times the probability 2 don't survive

0.7×0.7 = 0.49

0.0081×0.49 = 0.003969

now, the chance that 4 out of 6 survive is that probabilty times how many times we can select 4 out of 6.

to select 4 out of 6 is

= 6! / (4! × (6-4)!) = 6! / (4! × 2!) = 6×5/2 = 30/2 = 15

so, the probability of having 4 survivors is

15×0.003969 = 0.059535

the probability of 5 people surviving is 0.3⁵ times one not

0.3⁵×0.7 = 0.001701

we have 6 over 5 combinations to pick 5 out of 6 = 6.

so, in total for 5 survivors we get

6×0.001701 = 0.010206

and the probabilty of all 6 surviving is

0.3⁶ = 0.000729

so, the probability of at least 4 out of 6 surviving is

0.059535 +

0.010206 +

0.000729

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to

put in or use mine
