We now need to attempt to find an exact value for n such that P(r ≥ 1) = 0.99.
Clearly, if the bank has any chance of detecting a burglar they will need to have at least one alarm installed. So, we know that, minimally, n must be at least 1.Since n must be at least 1, suppose we start by trying n = 2, where there will be two alarms. When there are two alarms, r ≥ 1 means either one or both alarms could detect the burglar. If neither alarm detects the burglar it is considered a failure.
Therefore, P(r ≥ 1) can be calculated using either of the following formulas.
P(r ≥ 1) = P(1) + P(2)
P(r ≥ 1) = 1 − P ( ___ )

At a certain school 60 of the 100 boys and 60 of the
80 girls signed up for the senior trip. Is there an associa-tion between going on the trip and gender?
A) We can’t tell, because the class doesn’t have the samenumber of boys and girls.B) Yes, because the same number of boys and girlssigned up.C) Yes, because a lower percentage of boys signed upthan of girls.D) No, because the people on the trip were 50% boysand 50% girls.E) No, because the sign-up rate was higher among girlsthan among boys.
