Minimization
In mathematics, traditional optimization problems are typically expressed in terms of minimization. When we talk about minimizing or maximizing a function, we refer to the maximum and minimum possible values of that function. This can be expressed in ter…
Maxima and Minima
The extreme points of a function are the maximum and the minimum points of the function. A maximum is attained when the function takes the maximum value and a minimum is attained when the function takes the minimum value.
Derivatives
A derivative means a change. Geometrically it can be represented as a line with some steepness. Imagine climbing a mountain which is very steep and 500 meters high. Is it easier to climb? Definitely not! Suppose walking on the road for 500 meters. Which …
Concavity
In calculus, concavity is a descriptor of mathematics that tells about the shape of the graph. It is the parameter that helps to estimate the maximum and minimum value of any of the functions and the concave nature using the graphical method. We use the …

Please solve the following Statistics and Probability Problem (show all work) :    The probability that a patient recovers from a rare blood disease is 0.4 and 10 people are known to havecontracted this disease. Let X denote the random variable which denotes the number of patient who survivefrom 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}?
