In studies for a medication, 12 percent of patients gained weight as a side effect. Suppose 794 patients are randomly selected. Use the normal approximation to the binomial to approximate the probability that (a) exactly 96 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (b) no more than 96 patients will gain weight as a side effect. (c) at least 112 patients will gain weight as a side effect. What does this result suggest? ..... (a) P(96) = (Round to four decimal places as needed) (b) P(X< 96) =| (Round to four decimal places as needed) (c) P(X2 112) = (Round to four decimal places as needed) Since 112 is V than 12% of the patients, this suggests that the proportion of patients that gain weight as a side effect is V 0.12.
