Suppose 60% of the people in a town will get exposed to flu in the next month. if you are exposed and not inoculated then the probability of your getting the flu is 80%, but if you are inoculated that probability drops to 15%. of two executives at beta company, one is inoculated and one is not. what is the probability at least one will not get the flu? assume that the events that determine whether or not they get the flu are independent.

Olive Avila · Answer 1

P (Inoculated getting flu) = 0.6*0.15 = 0.09

P (Non-inoculated getting flu) = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48

P (Both getting flu) = 0.09*0.48 = 0.0432

P (Atleast 1 not getting flu) = 1-0.0432 = 0.9568
