Suppose 6 of 15 students in a grade school develop influenza, whereas 20% of grade school class develop influenza. What is the probability of obtaining at least 5 cases in this class if the nationwide rate holds true. What is the expected number of students in the class who will develop influenza? What is the probability of obtaining exactly 6 events for a Poisson distribution with a parameter μ = 4.0? What is the expected value and variance for a Poisson with parameter μ = 4.0? An experiment is designed to test the potency of a drug on 20 rats. Previous animal studies have shown that a 10-mg dose of drug is lethal at 5% of the time within the first 4 hours. Of the animals alive at 4 hours, 10% will die in the next 4 hours. d. What is the probability that 1 rat will die in the 8 hour period?
