This is binomial distribution
p= probability that employee call in sick= 60%
q=1-p= probability that employee does not call in sick= 40%
A) exactly three employees will call in sick
Probability = (10 C 3)* p^3 q ^7=
(10 C 3)= 120
p^3= =60%^3
q^7= =40%^7
Thus
Probability = (10 C 3)* p^3 q ^7= 0.0425 = 4.25% Answer
B) not more than one employee will call in sick.
Probability that not more than one employee ...
