Cancer odds
Here is the situation.
I work in an office with 75 people who have pretty much all been there for the past 7 years. Average age: 40 Odds of getting cancer between birth and 40: 1 in 60 get cancer before the age of 40. We have had 4 confirmed cases of cancer (all under the age of 40) in our office in the past 5 years with 2 more being looked at a possibilities. Assuming each year there is an equal chance to get cancer what are the odds of having 4 people, 5 people, 6 people get cancer in a 5 year period. What is the expected rate? Thanks! |
