From recent polls about customer satisfaction, you know that 85% of the clients of your company are highly satisfied and want to renew their contracts. If you select a random sample of 30 clients, what is the probability that at least one client is dissatisfied?

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)

In which
C_(n,x) 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)!)

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

If you select a random sample of 30 clients, what is the probability that at least one client is dissatisfied?

This is
P(X \geq 1) when
n = 30

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


P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which


P(X = x) = C_(n,x).p^(x).(1-p)^(n-x)


P(X = 0) = C_(30,0).(0.15)^(0).(0.85)^(30) = 0.0076


P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0076 = 0.9924

99.24% probability that at least one client is dissatisfied
