- Suppose at our given hospital, in a month’s time 24 patient undergo open heart surgery. Let V be the number of patients who die within the first 30 days of undergoing open heart surgery.
V ~ B(24, 0.15)
- What’s the probability that more than 5 patients die in the 30 days after undergoing open heart surgery?
P(V > 5) = 0.1394
- What’s the probability that between 5 and 10 patients (inclusive) die in the 30 days after undergoing open heart surgery?
P(5 ≤ V ≤ 10)
