You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability that a given individual will suffer hearing loss from the administration of an antibiotic is 0.001 determine the probability that out of 5000 individuals, exactly 2 will suffer hearing loss from the administration of the same antibiotic

Binomial Problem with n = 5000 and p(loss) = 0.001
----
P(x = 2) = 5000C2*0.001^2*0.999^4998 = binompdf(5000,0.001,2) = 0.0842
