Question 1186757: The probability that John will come to school on any given day is 82%. What is the probability that he will come to school (5 school days in a week): Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, greenestamps:Answer by ikleyn(52946) (Show Source):
The probability under the problem's question is P = = 0.37074. ANSWER
My solution answers the question "Find the probability that John will come to school all 5 days of a week".
In fact, the way the problem is stated, the question can't be answered, because it is not clear.
Adding "5 school days in a week" as a parenthetical expression does NOT define the problem.
The question might be asking for the probability that he comes to school today, or all 5 days this week, or at least 3 out of 5 days next week, or......
