Question 896121: Of 15 persons who have contracted a disease, 10 have completely recovered. Suppose that 5 persons are chosen at random from 15, what is the probability that none have completely recovered? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Of 15 persons who have contracted a disease, 10 have completely recovered. Suppose that 5 persons are chosen at random from 15, what is the probability that none have completely recovered?
------------
P(recover) = 10/15 = 2/3
P(not recover) = 1/3
-----
P(none of 5 recovered) = (1/3)^5 = 0.0041
