(a) If \(^{18}C_{r} = ^{18}C_{r + 2}\), find \(^{r}C_{5}\).

If 6 persons from the community are selected at random, one after the other with replacement, calculate, correct to four decimal places, the probability that : (i) exactly 5 (ii) none (iii) at most 2; tested positive to the virus.

Using the Rehoboth's formula nCr=nC(r+x)
n-r=r+x
18-r=r+2
16=2r
r=8
rC5=8C5
8C5=56
