A new drug is designed to reduce a person's blood pressure. Thirteen randomly selected hypertensive patients receive the new drug. Suppose the probability that a hypertensive patient's blood pressure drops if he or she is untreated is 0.5.
 
  Then what is the probability of observing 11 or more blood pressure drops in a random sample of 13 treated patients if the new drug is in fact ineffective in reducing blood pressure? Round to six decimal places.

Question 2

Let t0 be a particular value of t. Find a value of t0 such that P(t  t0 or t  t0 ) = .1 where df = 14.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Let x = the number of the 13 hypertensive patients whose blood pressure drops.
Then X is a binomial random variable with n = 13 and p = .5.

P(x  11 ) = P(x = 11 ) + P(x = 12 ) + P(x = 13 )
= 0.011230

Answer to Question 2

t0 = 1.761; Use table for t.050 with 14 degrees of freedom.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
