During a drug trial for a new antibiotic, 45% of the people who were given the drug experienced dizziness. Assume a sample size of 25 patients..
-----------------------
A)Find the probability that exactly 8 patients experienced dizziness.
Binomial Problem with n = 25 and p(dizzy) = 0.45
----
P(x = 8) = 25C8(0.45)^8*(0.55)^17 = binompdf(25,0.45,8) = 0.0701
