Suppose that the probability that a patient admitted in a hospital is diagnosed with a certain type of cancer is 0.03. Suppose that on a given day 10 patients are admitted and X denotes the number of patients diagnosed with this type of cancer. Determine the probability distribution of the random variable X. Find the mean and the variance of X

Of all sports, football accounts for the highest incidence of concussion in the United States due to the large number of athletes participating and the nature of the sport. While there is general agreement that concussion incidence can be reduced by making rule changes and teaching proper tackling technique, there remains debate as to whether helmet design may also reduce the incidence of concussion. Rowson et al. (2014) report on a retrospective analysis of head impact data collected between 2005 and 2010 from eight collegiate football teams. Concussion rates for players wearing two types of helmets, Riddell VSR4 and Riddell Revolution, were compared. A total of 1,281,444 head impacts were recorded, from which 64 concussions were diagnosed. The relative risk of sustaining a concussion in a Revolution helmet compared with a VSR4 helmet was 46.1%. This study illustrates that differences in the ability to reduce concussion risk exist between helmet models in football. Although helmet…
Suppose that the distribution for total amounts spent by students vacationing for a week in Florida is normally distributed with a mean of 650 and a standard deviation of 120. Suppose you take a simple random sample (SRS) of 25 students from this distribution. What is the probability that a SRS of 25 students will spend an average of between 600 and 700 dollars?
A government sample survey plans to measure the total cholesterol level of an SRS of men aged 20-34. suppose that, in fact, the total cholesterol level of men aged 20-34 follows the normal distribution with a mean of 182 milligrams per deciliter. The standard deviation is 37 milligrams per deciliter. choose an SRS of 1000 men from this population. Now what is the probability that x falls within + or - 2 milligrams per deciliter of the mean?
