You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a certain high-risk group, the chances of a person having suffered a heart attack are 55%. If 6 people are chosen, find the probability that at least 1 will have had a heart attack.
--------
Binomial Problem with n=6 and p= 0.55
----------
P(at least one) = 1 - P(none)
----
P(at least one has a heart attack) = 1 - P(none of 6 has a heart attack)
---
= 1 - 0.45^6
---
= 1 - 0.0083
---
= 0.9917
