Question

The probability that a patient recovers from a rare blood disease is 0.4 and 10 people are known to have
contracted this disease. Let X denote the random variable which denotes the number of patient who survive
from the disease.
1. Plot the probability mass function (pmf) of X.
2. Plot the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of X.
3. What is the probability that at least 8 survive, i.e., P{X ≥ 8}?
4. What is the probability that 3 to 8 survive, i.e., P{3 ≤ X ≤ 8}?
