If a certain medicine cures 85% of the people who take it, what is the probability that, if 6 people take the medicine, exactly 4 will be cured?

if 6 people take the medicine, around 5 people will get cured if the cure probability is 85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain medicine cures 85% of the people who take it.

As 6 people take the medicine, we need to determine how many will be cured.

As

85% = 85/100 = 0.85

All we need is to multiply 6 with 0.85.

i.e. 6 × 0.85 = 5 (Rounded to the nearest 1 or  the Ones Place)

Thus, if 6 people take the medicine, around 5 people will get cured if the cure probability is 85%.

you can use a^2+ b^2=c^2
