You can put this solution on YOUR website! A hospital is hoping to introduce a Fast Care Unit. The hospital finds that after the initial run, 75% of the patients were pleased with the service. We ask 15 randomly selected patients whether or not they are pleased with the service.
(a) Is this a binomial experiment? Explain how you know.
Yes; independence of opinions; p is constant from patient to patient;
binomial response to question
-------------------------
(b) Use the correct formula to find the probability that, out of 15 patients, exactly 11 are pleased with the service. Show your calculations or explain how you found the probability
-----------------------------
P(x = 11) = 15C11(0.75)^11*(0.25)^4 = 0.2252
