Answer:
99.24% probability that at least one client is dissatisfied
Explanation:
For each client, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are dissatisfied, or they are not. The probability of a client being dissatisfied is independent from other clients. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
![P(X = x) = C_(n,x).p^(x).(1-p)^(n-x)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/mj488d1yx012m85w10rpw59rwq0s5qv1dq.png)
In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
![C_(n,x) = (n!)/(x!(n-x)!)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/qaowm9lzn4vyb0kbgc2ooqh7fbldb6dkwq.png)
And p is the probability of X happening.
85% of the clients of your company are highly satisfied
So 15% are dissatisfied, so
![p = 0.15](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/u9ecl6boa47nzyscnjp89e73b48vx8bdhq.png)
If you select a random sample of 30 clients, what is the probability that at least one client is dissatisfied?
This is
when

We know that either no clients are dissatisfied, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So
![P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/3y4i11vw3n4ugfq1uhu4er92ncdwchnt5i.png)
![P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/mrh0qjcttwa4i58cxv41mpzosdbbpdfl58.png)
In which
![P(X = x) = C_(n,x).p^(x).(1-p)^(n-x)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/mj488d1yx012m85w10rpw59rwq0s5qv1dq.png)
![P(X = 0) = C_(30,0).(0.15)^(0).(0.85)^(30) = 0.0076](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/md997gqfzmlf8gubzkh2pc5zmw2gds545n.png)
![P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0076 = 0.9924](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/m37bqeehf1iqelktlnfokq84ogh5g9e9cs.png)
