A new medical procedure produces side effects in 27% of the patients who receive it. In a clinical trial, 70 people undergo the procedure.

What is the probability that 24 or fewer experience side effects? Approximate using the normal curve. Use the Cumulative Normal Distribution Table or technology. Round your answer to four decimal places.

The probability that 24 or fewer patients experience side effects is

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
