Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 15/16 Concept: Probability of event hapening = 1 - probability of event not happening
Calculation: Here, probability of medicine to cure patient = 1/2 And, probability of none cured = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 The probability that at least one patient is cured by this medicine = 1 - none patient cured by this medicine = 1 - (1/2) ×(1/2) ×(1/2) ×(1/2) = 1 - (1/2)4 = 15/16 Hence, option (4) is correct. |
