Answer:

The probability of missing the first metal-carrying person is P(x≤50)=0.395

Step-by-step explanation:

We define as success to: missing metal carrying detection.

p=0.01

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We look for the probability when all metal carring people is detected so x=0

P(x≤50)=1-P(x=0)=1 - 0.99^{50}=0.395
