Question

to the binornial to approximate the probability that In studies for a medication, 8 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 632 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal (a) exactly 51 patents will gain weight as a side effect (c) at least 64 patents will gain weight as a side effect. What does this result suggest? (a) P(51)-(Round to four decimal places as needed) (b)PXs51).(Round to for dermal places as needed) (c) P(X264)"(Round to four deci nal places as needed) Since 64 is! | than 8% of patients, this suggests hat the proponon of panerns that gin segera, sonnet n 1008.

Explanation / Answer

We would be using binomial distribution to calculate the probability and the formula for the same would be as shown below: -

n!/x!(p-x)!*p^x*q^n-x, n=632, p=0.08, q=0.92

a)

x=51

P(51)=0.0580

b)

x=51 or less

P(x<=51)=0.5627

c)

x=64 or more

P(x=>64)=0.03215

Less than, less than
