We know that if the probability of an event happening is 100%, then the event is a certainty. Can it be concluded that if there is a 50% chance of contracting a communicable disease through contact with an infected person, there would be a 100% chance of contracting the disease if 2 contacts were made with the infected person

The correct answer to the following question will be "No". The further explanation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability (Keeping the disease out of 1 contact)

=

Probability (not keeping the disease out of 1 contact)

=

=

Now,

Probability (not keeping the disease out of 2 contact)

= Keeping the disease out of 1 contact × not keeping the disease out of 1 contact

On putting the estimated values, we get

=

=

So that,

Probability (Keeping the disease out of 2 contact)

=

=

∴  Not 100%
