Question
![Assume that the probability of a being born with Genetic Condition B is \( p = \frac{29}{30} \). A study looks at a random sample of 291 volunteers.
Find the most likely number of the 291 volunteers to have Genetic Condition B.
(Round answer to one decimal place.)
\( \mu = \) [ ]
Let \( X \) represent the number of volunteers (out of 291) who have Genetic Condition B. Find the standard deviation for the probability distribution of \( X \).
(Round answer to two decimal places.)
\( \sigma = \) [ ]
Use the range rule of thumb to find the minimum usual value \( \mu-2\sigma \) and the maximum usual value \( \mu+2\sigma \).
Enter answer as an interval using square-brackets only with whole numbers.
