Algebra.Com's Answer #744533 by Boreal(15235) You can put this solution on YOUR website! 0 recovery is 0.60^5=0.078, probability of no recovery (0.6) to the 5th power. \n" ); document.write( "1 recovery is 5(0.4)*0.6)^4=0.259, the 5 is the number of ways it can occur. \n" ); document.write( "2 recoveries is 10*0.4^2*0.6^3=0.346 \n" ); document.write( "3 recoveries is 10*0.4^3*0.6^2=0.230 \n" ); document.write( "4 recoveries is 5*0.4^4*0.6=0.077 \n" ); document.write( "5 recoveries is 0.4^5=0.01 \n" ); document.write( "General form is nCr*p^r*(1-p)^(n-r) \n" ); document.write( " |
