Question 395683: In a certain group of students, the probability that a student have experienced chickenpox is 0.7 and the probability of haven’t experienced it yet is 0.30. If 5 students are randomly selected with replacement, what is the probability that exactly one of them have experienced chickenpox? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is:
P = nCx* where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively.
In this case p = .7 q =.3
nCx =
P(1 of 5 have had chicken pox) = 5(.7)^1(.3)^4 = .0284
