Answer:

C) 13.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of catching the flu = p = 0.15

Probability of not catching the flu = q = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

n = 5

Using binomial expansion, we have

C(n,r)* p^r * q^n-r

Probability of having 2 out of 5 = p(x = 2)

p(x = 2) = C(5,2) (0.15)^2 (0.85)^3

= 10 * 0.0225 * 0.614125

= 0.138

= 0.138 * 100

= 13.8% (C)
