Question 1 • Algebra 2 with Probability

A medical device company knows that 11 percent of patients experience injection-site reactions with the current needle. If 4 people receive injections with this type of needle, what is the probability that none of the 4 people get an injection-site reaction?

Answer
A
0 point 4 4 0 0
B
0 point 6 2 7 4
C
0 point 0 0 0 1
D
0 point 3 7 2 6

Explanation

If 11% of patients have a reaction, the probability of no reaction is 1 − 0.11 = 0.89. Assuming the four patients’ outcomes are independent, the probability that none reacts is 0.89⁴ = 0.6274, so the answer is 0.6274.
