and how to solve:
“A history lecture hall class has 15 students. There is a 15% absentee rate per class meeting. Find the probability that exactly one student will be absent from class.”
I already know that:
n = 15
p = 15%
q = 1 - 15 = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
...and then you do: p (x = 1) = C 15 & 1 and then...
(0.15)^1 (0.85)^14
Please help me understand the rest. Thank you!
