Volunteers were asked to fill out a survey about body piercings and tattoos. The probability that a person has a tattoo is 0.3. For this problem, we can assume that the volunteers are independent. a) What is the probability that three people will have a tattoo out of 10 volunteers surveyed? b) How many volunteers out of 10 can we expect to have a tattoo? c) What is the probability that it will take asking at least 3 volunteers to...

2. In a study of 437 comma 485 cell phone​ users, it was found that 54 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no​ effect, there is a 0.000168 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 74 cases of such cancer in a group of 437 comma 485 people. Estimate the probability of 54 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 437...

To determine whether or not they have a certain desease, 80 people are to have their blood tested. However, rather than testing each individual separately, it has been decided first to group the people in groups of 16. The blood samples of the 16 people in each group will be pooled and analyzed together. If the test is negative, one test will suffice for the 16 people (we are assuming that the pooled test will be positive if and only...
