1- For a specific type of cancer, the chance of a patient surviving is 40%. Suppose you work in a doctor's office that is treating 15 patients. Answer the following questions. a. What is the probability that exactly 5 people survive? b. What is the probability that at least 10 people survive? c. What is the probability that no one survives?

Step 1
Given that the chance of survival is 40%, the probability of survival (S) is 0.4, and the probability of non-survival (NS) is 1 - 0.4 = 0.6. Show more…

The probability that a patient recovers from a rare blood disease is 0.4. If 15 people are known to have contracted this disease, what is the probability that a) at least 10 people survive, b) 3 to 8 people survive, c) exactly 5 people survive? d) Plot the graph of the distribution.
