In the television program "Big Sisters," 12 candidates remain. The public chooses four candidates for the final round. Each candidate has an equal probability of being chosen. The Gotham Echo reckons that the local heroine, Stella Stone, has a probability of 38.5% of getting through to the final: they give her a probability of being chosen first, a + probability of being chosen second, a probability of being chosen third, and a probability of being chosen fourth. Is this calculation correct? 11

An aerosolized vaccine for measles was developed in Mexico and has been used on 44 million children since 1980. Aerosolized vaccines have the advantages of being able to be administered by people without clinical training and do not cause injection‐associated infections. The percentage of children developing an immune response to measles after receiving the subcutaneous injection of the vaccine is 95%,95%, and for those receiving the aerosolized vaccine, it is 85%85% . There are 2020 children to be vaccinated for measles using the aerosolized vaccine in a small rural village in India. We are going to count the number who developed an immune response to measles after the vaccination. (b) What is the probability that at least one child does not develop an immune response to measles after receiving the aerosolized vaccine?
