    Probability of success  = nCx (probability of success)x (probability of failure)n-x

    Probability  of non mortality= 60C55 (0.9)55(0.1)5

    As Probability of mortality is 0.1 so, probability of  non-mortality is 0.9.

    Probability of non mortality = 5461512 x 3.04 x 10-3 x 1 x 10-5 = 0.166
