Question 611582: In testing a new drug, researchers found that 5% of all patients using it will have a mild side effect. A random sample of 13 patients using the drug is selected. Find the probability that:

(A) exactly three will have this mild side effect
(B) at least two will have this mild side effect.

In testing a new drug, researchers found that 5% of all patients using it will have a mild side effect. A random sample of 13 patients using the drug is selected.
Binomial Problem with n = 13 and p(side effect) = 0.05
-------
Find the probability that:
(A) exactly three will have this mild side effect
P(x = 3) = 13C3*0.05^3*(0.95)^0 = 0.02140
====================
(B) at least two will have this mild side effect.
P(2<= x <=3) = 1 - binomcdf(13,0.05,1) = 0.1354
==========================
Cheers,
Stan H.
