If the horse has the disease, the treatment costs $500. a) What is the probability that at least three horses will be diagnosed with the disease on any given day? b) What is the probability that at most four horses will be diagnosed with the disease on any given day? c) What is the expected profit per day that the clinic makes from examining horses and treating them for this disease?
