Hi
Survey Results reveal that 45% of patients screened for a virus test positive
p = .45 q = .55
random sample of 35 patients
mean = .55*35 = 16 expected average number to test positive..
SD = sqrt(35*.55*.45) = ~3
P(at most 18 test positive) that is nearly everything left of z=1, or (P = 84%)
Estimate would be somewhat less than that.
