A cinema hall holds 100 people. The probability of individual transmission, that is, the probability for each individual in the cinema that they have Covid-19 and pass it to you, is 0.1. Answer the following question parts. (a) Calculate the probability that you contract Covid-19. [ Hint: start by finding the probability that you do not contract it. ] (b) The Cinema introduces a mask mandate, so that the probability of individ- ual transmission is reduced by a factor of 3. Redo your calculation that you contract the virus. (c) A new rule is introduced that everyone in the cinema must be vaccinated. This reduces the probability of individual transmission by a factor of 10. Redo your calculation that you contract the virus.
