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 12,640 children. a. Assuming that this tumor occurs as usual, find the mean number of cases in groups of 12,640 children. b. Using the unrounded mean from part (a), find the probability that the number of tumor cases in a group of 12,640 children is 0 or 1. c. What is the probability of more than one case?
