Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 40E
Patients arriving at an outpatient clinic are routinely screened for high blood pressure. Assume that this condition occurs in 15% of the population.
- (a) What is the
probability that the third patient of the day has high blood pressure? - (b) What is the average number of patients that must be seen to find the first patient with high blood pressure?
- (c) If the clinic typically sees 50 patients each day, what is the probability of finding 10 patients with high blood pressure?
