Question

The 5 "others" are exposed and escape the camp into the jungle, leaving 74 survivors in the camp. Each person is assigned a job to carry out until they are rescued: 34 of these survivors gather food for the group; 35 for the survivors collect wood and leaves to build fires and shelter; and 5 of the survivors forage through the plane wreckage for valuables. Additionally, each day one person is randomly selected (with replacement) to lessen to a radio that is found in the wreckage, instead of hunter will be picked for the radio job on the first day, and that a wood collector will be picked for the radio job on the second day?

Explanation / Answer

P(hunter getting picked for first day) = 34/74

P(wood collector picked on second day) = 35/74

P(hunter on first day and wood collector on second day being picked) = (34/74) x (35x74) = 0.22
