The probability that an individual recovers from an illness in a one-week time period without treatment is 0.1. Suppose that 20 independent individuals suffering from this illness are treated with a drug and four recover in a one-week time period. If the drug has no effect, what is the probability that four or more people recover in a oneweek time period?
