Answer to Question 1

The conditions necessary for applying the binomial distribution are not as restrictive as they may seem. The situation of repeated independent trials with only two possible outcomes occurs quite frequently: sales calls achieve the sale or not, investments are profitable or not, productions achieve quotas or not, etc. Further, a number of situations, which might have a range of outcomes can be classified into two categories-made into categorical variables-and, can thus also be represented by the binomial distribution.

Answer to Question 2

The conditional probabilities for men may be found by dividing the response frequencies in the men row by the total number of men, 100. For women, divide the frequencies by the total number of women, 150. The results are shown in the following two-way table.

Incorrect Favorable Unfavorable
Men 0.42 0.38 0.20
Women 0.42 0.38 0.20

The response probabilities are exactly the same for each gender. Therefore there are no gender differences at all in the responses.

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.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
