145. A company has five employees on its health insurance plan. Each year, each employee
independently has an 80% probability of no hospital admissions. If an employee requires
one or more hospital admissions, the number of admissions is modeled by a geometric
distribution with a mean of 1.50. The numbers of hospital admissions of different
employees are mutually independent.
Each hospital admission costs 20,000.
Calculate the probability that the company’s total hospital costs in a year are less than 50,000.
