Hi,
I was trying to calculate the probability of a person in a given country knowing someone infected with coronavirus.
Let's say that:
country population = pop
number of infected people in the country = inf
person's acquaintances= acq
My initial idea was to use a binomial approach, considering that probability of "success"=inf/pop
and then calculating the probability of X>=1, with the number of trials being the number of acquaintances (acq)
Would this be a proper approach?
