Question 3
A national health survey indicates that approximately 80% of
individuals who attempt a new diet fail to maintain it. Imagine
in your neighborhood, 5 people start a new diet independently
of each other.
a) hat type of probability distribution is applicable for the
above situation. Explain your answer by giving FOUR
(4) conditions of the distribution.
b) What is the probability that at least two people failed
to maintain their diet?
c) What is the probability that exactly 1 out of these 5
people will successfully maintain their diet?
d) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of this
distribution
