<PRE><B>Question 682437</B>
): A commitee of 15 members is voting on a proposal each member casts a yay or a nay vote. on a random voting basis, what is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?
----
Prob any one of the 15 votes is yay is 1/2
----
If unanimous means everyone votes yay the probability is (1/2)^15
-
If unanimous means everyone votes yay or everyone votes nay the
probability is 2*(1/2)^15
