Question 847203: 1. Calculate the probability of the following


c. assuming a probability of any arrival at an emergency room being an emergency as 0.646, and assuming that arrivals are independent, the probability of the next four arrivals being all emergencies
Assuming (c),the probability of the next five arrivals being all non-emergencies.

Probability of 1 emergency = 1-.646 [since they are complements]
Through INDEPENDENCE, probability of 5 non emergencies:
(1-.646)^5 = .0056
