The probability that a randomly selected man dies of cancer during the course of the year = [tex] \frac{300}{100000}= \frac{3}{1000}=0.003 [/tex]
The probability that a randomly selected man does not die of cancer during the course of the year = [tex]1-0.003=0.997[/tex]
The probability that atleast one man of this age dies of cancer is the complement of the probability that no man dies of cancer. In equation form we can write:
Probability that atleast one man of this age dies of cancer = 1 - No man at this age dies of cancer
The probability that no man dies of cancer out of 1000 selected men = [tex] (0.997)^{1000}=0.04956 [/tex], rounded of to 5 decimal places
Thus the probability that atleast one man at this age dies of cancer = 1 - 0.04956 = 0.95044
The probability that a randomly selected man does not die of cancer during the course of the year = [tex]1-0.003=0.997[/tex]
