Answer;
Given by;
It’s "true",
The number of people suffering complications after surgery in a given week is a discrete random variable as consider by:
Because:
The number of people can be only take values given as like 0,1 ,2 ,50 etc…
Therefore,
Its discrete variable.

The success rate of corneal transplant surgery is 85%. The surgery is performed on 6 patients. Let the random variable x = the number of successful corneal transplant surgeries. Is this a binomial, geometric or Poisson distribution. Justify your answer by verifying the appropriate conditions. Construct a probability distribution table for x calculate the mean and variance for the probability distribution.

17. (15pts] Consider a surgical procedure to rebuild damaged cartilage in the knee. According to previous surgeries, the procedure has an 85% of succeeding with no further complications. A doctor performs this procedure 20 times. (a) The doctor would like to use the normal approximation for binomial. Find the mean and standard deviation for X, the number of patients with further complications. (b) The doctor is interested in calculating the probability of seeing at most one patient with a future...

4. At a local hospital, babies are born at an average rate of four births per night (consider "night" to be an 8 hour period from 10pm to 6am). Assume that the time that elapsed from one birth to the next has the exponential distribution. Take note that we are concerned only with the rate at which babies are born, and we are ignoring the time spent in labor. We must also assume that the times spent between births are...
