Please solve this question
Suppose the mortality rate for a certain disease is 0.1 and suppose 10 people in a community contract the disease. what is the probability that:
Binomial Problems with n = 10 and p(die) = 0.1 and p(survive) = 0.9
---------------
(1) none will survive
P(x = 0) = 0.1^10 = 1x10^-10
----------------------------------
(2) 50% will die
P(x = 5) = 10C5(0.1)^5*0.9^5 = 0.0015
-------------------------------
(3) at least 3 will die.
P(3<= x <=10) = 1 - P(0<= x <=2) = 0.0702
