In a clinical trial of a drug used to help subjects stop smoking, 818818 subjects were treated with 1 mg1 mg doses of the drug. That group consisted of 3232 subjects who experienced nausea. The probability of nausea for subjects not receiving the treatment was 0.01120.0112. Complete parts (a) through (c).

a. Assuming that the drug has no effect, so that the probability of nausea was 0.01120.0112, find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of people in groups of 818818 that can be expected to experience nausea. The mean is 9.29.2 people. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) The standard deviation is 33 people. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) b. Based on the result from part (a), is it unusual to find that among 818818 people, there are 3232 who experience nausea? Why or why not? - It is unusual because 3232 is outside the range of usual values. Based on the preceding results, does nausea appear to be an adverse reaction that should be of concern to those who use the drug? - The drug does appear to be the cause of some nausea. Since the nausea rate is still quite low (about 44%), it appears to be an adverse reaction that does not occur very often.

a. If a male passenger is randomly selected, find the probability that he can fit through the doorway without bending. The probability is . 9838.9838. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If half of the 250250 passengers are men, find the probability that the mean height of the 125125 men is less than 7575 in. The probability is 11. c. When considering the comfort and safety of passengers, which result is more relevant: the probability from part (a) or the probability from part (b)? Why? The probability from part (a) is more relevant because it shows the proportion of male passengers that will not need to bend. When considering the comfort and safety of passengers, why are women ignored in this case? A. Since men are generally taller than women, a design that accommodates a suitable proportion of men will necessarily accommodate a greater proportion of women.

Determine whether the following probability experiment represents a binomial experiment and explain the reason for your answer. FiveFive cards are selected from a standard 52-card deck without replacement. The number of fivesfives selected is recorded.

No, because the trials of the experiment are not independent and the probability of success differs from trial to trial.
