The theoretical probability of undesirable side effects resulting from taking
Grebex is 1 for 10.
---
P(undesirable effects) = 1/11
P(desirable effects) = 10/11
====================
If 100 people take Grebex to lower their blood pressure, how many will encounter undesirable side effects
---
Ans: (1/11)(100) = 9.09
Rounding Down: 9 people
