Given: On average one employee is absent 12 days per year (365 days). There are 5 employees in a company. It is assumed, that the absence of one employee has no effect on the others, and there is no seasonality.

Question 2: What is the probability that at least 3 employees will be present on the same day?

Are the following answers correct?

$P(All 5 Absent)=(12/365)^5$

$P(At Least 3 Present)=(1-12/365)^3$
