Transcribed Image Text:A rare form of malignant tumor occurs in 11 children in a million, so its probability is 0.000011. Four cases of this tumor occurred in a certain town, which had
15,571 children.
a. Assuming that this tumor occurs as usual, find the mean number of cases in groups of
15,571 children.
b. Using the unrounded mean from part (a), find the probability that the number of tumor cases in a group of 15,571 children is 0 or 1.
What in the nunhahilih, of more than an
OC. Yes, because the probability of more than one case is very small.
OD. Yes, because the probability of more than one case is very large.
