An aerosolized vaccine for measles was developed in Mexico and has been used on 4 million children since 1980. Aerosolized vaccines have the advantages of being able to be administered by people without clinical training and do not cause injection‐associated infections. The percentage of children developing an immune response to measles after receiving the subcutaneous injection of the vaccine is 95%, and for those receiving the aerosolized vaccine, it is 85% . There are 20 children to be vaccinated for measles using the aerosolized vaccine in a small rural village in India. We are going to count the number who developed an immune response to measles after the vaccination. What is the probability that at least one child does not develop an immune response to measles after receiving the aerosolized vaccine? (Enter your answer as a proportion rounded to four decimal places.) What would be the probability that at least one child does not develop an immune response to measles if all children were vaccinated using the subcutaneous injection of the vaccine? (Enter your answer as a proportion rounded to four decimal places.)
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
