It is known from experience that 30% of people having a particular disease recover naturally. A drug company created a new medication for the disease. Ten people having the disease were randomly chosen to try the medication, and nine recovered. Assume that the drug was ineffective. What is the chance that at least nine of the ten people who received the medication will recover. *Option for distribution: Bernoulli Distribution, Binomial Distribution, Geometric Distribution, Negative Binomial Distribution, Hypergeometric Distribution, Poisson Distribution, or Multinomial Distribution -Random variable: -Distribution (include explanation):  -Computation

Answer the given problem following the format in the attached file.

It is known from experience that 30% of people having a particular disease recover naturally. A drug company created a new medication for the disease. Ten people having the disease were randomly chosen to try the medication, and nine recovered. Assume that the drug was ineffective. What is the chance that at least nine of the ten people who received the medication will recover.

Example: A large number of insects are expected to be attracted to a certain
variety of rose plant. A commercial insecticide is advertised as being 99%
effective. Suppose 200 insects infest a rose garden where the insecticide has
been applied. What is the probability that none of these insects can survive?
Random variable: X – number of dead insects
Distribution: X~Bin(200, 0.99)
a
Computation: P[X = 200] = (200)(0.99)200 (0.01)° = 0.1340
