Just to clarify, that's using the binomial formula, right?

If I remember correctly, the formula involves the number of trials and the probability of success, but I’m a bit confused about the calculations.

I practiced a similar question where we had to calculate the probability of at least one success, but I can't recall the exact steps now.

I think we need to find the probability of none of the patients being cured first, then subtract that from 1.

I remember we talked about using the binomial formula, but I'm not sure how to set it up for this question.

I think the Exponential Smoothing (ETS) algorithm would be a good choice here. It's designed to handle time series data with trends and seasonality, which seems relevant for forecasting energy consumption.

I think I came across a practice question where a video tag wasn't closed properly, and it caused rendering issues. That could be it, but I need to double-check.

The key seems to be figuring out how to free up disk space on the datadir partition. I'll need to consider the different options presented and their potential impact.

I hope the answer isn't 'the patient is cured and also wins the lottery'.

But if we use the binomial formula, the probability of at least one patient being cured is higher than .5, so C) .531 makes more sense.
