You can put this solution on YOUR website! a doctor claims to have discovered a cure for a disease. half of the people with disease have recovered without treatment. He treats 200 patients, 120 of whom recover. whats the probability that all 120 would have recovered?
-------
Binomial Problem with n = 200 and p(cure) = 1/2
----
P(x = 120) = 200C120*(1/2)^120*(1/2)^80 = 0.0010
