5 members of the Avengers - Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Spider Man - got tested for the coronavirus.
Suppose that their test results are independent of each other. The probability of an Avenger getting a positive result is 20%.
What is the probability that Captain America and Iron Man get negative results, but Hulk, Thor and Spider Man get positive results? (Find the nearest answer.)
| a. | 0.244%  | |
| b. | 0.081%  | |
| c. | 0.879%  | |
| d. | 0.011%  | |
| e. | 0.512%  | 
Probability of getting negative = 1-20%=80%
Probability that Captain America and Iron Man get negative and rest get positive
= product of (both getting negative)* (rest getting positive)
= 0.8*0.8*0.2*0.2*0.2 = 0.00512 = 0.512%
Therefore (e) is the answer to this question
