4. A human gene carries a certain disease from the mother to the child with a probability rate of 20%. That is, there is a 20% chance that the child becomes infected with the disease. Suppose a female carrier of the gene has four children. Assume that the infections of the four children are independent of one another. Find the probability that at least two of the children does not get the disease from their mother. (a) 0.9984 (b) 0.9728 (c) 0.9744 (d) 0.0256 5.
