b) at least 1 has red hair?
show your work. Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P(7 have red hair) = 0.15^7 = 1.71E-6
P(at least 1 have red hair) = 1 - P(none have red hair)
P(none) = 0.85^7 = 0.321
So the probability that at least one has red hair = 1 - 0.321 = 0.679
