In a clinical study of a new drug formulated to reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis, researchers found that the proportion p of patients who respond favorably to the drug is a random variable that varies from batch to batch of the drug. Assume that p has a
Suppose that n patients are injected with portions of the drug taken from the same batch. Let Y denote the number showing a favorable response. Find
- a the unconditional probability distribution of Y for general n.
- b E(Y) for n = 2.
