Question 1159661: 95% of the time an alarm clock works properly. What is the probability that the alarm clock will fail to wake up the individual 1 day out of the year. Answer by VFBundy(438) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you mean ONE day and exactly ONE day. (Meaning, not "one or more" days.):
= 0.000000007787 * 0.05 * 365
= 0.0000001421
---------------------------------------------------------
If you mean ONE OR MORE days:
= 1 - 0.000000007398
= 0.999999992602
