Medical treatment will cure about 87% of all people who suffer from a certain eye disorder. Suppose a large medical clinic treats 57 people with this disorder. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of people that will recover. The clinic wants a probability distribution for r. Use the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.

Answers to all the questions using binomial distribution are shown below.

What is Binomial distribution?

  • The binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution that indicates the likelihood of success in a replacement experiment.
  • This is in contrast to the Hypergeometric distribution, which provides the likelihood of success in an experiment conducted without replacement.

To answer all the questions using binomial distribution:

(A) The binomial distribution will be roughly normally distributed if the following conditions are satisfied:

  • np > 5
  • n(1−p ) > 5

Given that;

  • n = 57
  • p = 0.87

Test whether the conditions are satisfied:

  • np:57 × .87>5
  • n(1-p) : 57(1−.87)>5

Since the conditions are satisfied, the distribution is approximately normal.

(B) Calculate mean and standard deviation of binomial distribution:

  • E(x)=μ=np
  • = 57×.87
  • = 49.59
  • σ =√np(1−p)
  • =√57×.87(1−.87)
  • = 2.539

Now use normal approximation:

  • P(r≤47) = P(X−μ/σ≤47−49.59/2.539)
  • = P(z≤−1.02)
  • = 0.1539

(C)

  • P(47 ≤ r ≤ 55) = P(47 − 49.59 / 2.539 ≤ X - μ / σ ≤ 55 − 49.59 / 2.539)
  • = P(−1.02 ≤ z ≤ 2.13)
  • = P(z < 2.13)−P(z < −1.02)
  • = 0.9834−0.1539
  • = 0.8295

Therefore, answer to all the questions using binomial distribution are shown below.
