A company has ve employees on its health insurance plan. Each
year, each
employee independently has an 80% probability of no hospital
admissions.
If an employee requires one or more hospital admissions, the number
of ad-
missions is modeled by a geometric distribution with a mean of
1.50. The
numbers of hospital admissions of different employees are mutually
indepen-
dent. Each hospital admission costs 20,000.
Calculate the probability that the company's total hospital costs
in a year
are less than 50,000. The answer is 0.78279. Could you explain why?
Thank you!
