1. Data collected by the NCHS shows the percentage of adults told they have hypertension is 23.53 percent. If we select a simple random sample of 20 US adults and assume the probability that each has been told they have hypertension is .24.
This survey also shows that 32 percent indicated that they have been tested for HIV. Consider a simple random sample of 15 adults selected at that time. Find the probability that the number of adults who have been tested for HIV in the sample would be:
2. An investigator looked at the occurrence of RCH, a benign retinal tumor, in people with von Hippel-Lindau disease.(VHL) The researchers found the number of RCH tumor incidents followed a Poisson distribution with λ = 4 tumors per eye with patients with VHL. Using this model, find the probability that in a randomly selected patient with VHL:
