5.28 Medical Bills II Consider the medical paymentproblem in Exercise 5.27 in a more realistic setting. Ofall patients admitted to a medical clinic, 30% fail topay their bills and the debts are eventually forgiven. Ifthe clinic treats 2000 different patients over a period of1 year, what is the mean (expected) number of debtsthat have to be forgiven? If x is the number of forgivendebts in the group of 2000 patients, find the varianceand standard deviation of x. What can you say aboutthe probability that x will exceed 700?
