If p is the probability that a man aged ...

If `p` is the probability that a man aged `x` will die in a year, then the probability that out of `n` men `A_1,A_2, A_n` each aged `x ,A_1` will die in an year and be the first to die is `1-(1-p)^n` b. `(1-p)^n` c. `1//n[1-(1-p)^n]` d. `1//n(1-p)^n`

A

`1-(1-p)^(n)`

B

`(1-p)^(n)`

C

`(1)/(n)[1-(1-p)^(n)]`

D

`(1)/(n)(1-p)^(n)`
