Question
A rare form of malignant tumor occurs in 11 children in a million, so its
- Assuming that this tumor occursas usual, find the
mean number of cases in groups of 19950 children. - Using the unrounded mean frompart (a ), find the probability that the number of tumor cases in a group of
19950 children is 0 or 1.
- What is the probability of more thanone case?
- Does the cluster of four cases appear to be attributable torandom chance? Why or why not?
- The mean number of cases is0.197.
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to three decimal places as needed.)
- The probability that the number of cases is exactly 0 or 1is ?
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
- The probability of more than one case is
? (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
- Let a probability of 0.05 or lessbe "very small," and let a probability of 0.95 or more be "very large". Does the cluster of four cases appear to be attributable to random chance? Why or why not?
- No,because the probability of more than one case is very small.
B.Yes, because the probability of more than one case is very small.
- Yes,because the probability of more than one case is very large.
- No,because the probability of more than one case is very large.
