The probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive if the number of employees is 500 is 0.5
Probability
In the statistics concept, the probability refers the possible number of way of happening the particular event.
Given,
A test for a certain drug has a 0.1% probability of producing a false positive.
Here we need to find the probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive if a company hired 500 drug-free employees.
In the given question, we have the following values,
=> number of employees = 500
=> Probability of false positive = 0.1%
So, the probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive is calculated as,
=> 500 x 0.1/100
=> 5 x 0.1
=> 0.5
Therefore, the probability of obtaining at least 1 false positive is 0.5.
