Recently, a nurse commented that when a patient calls the medical advice line claiming to have the flu, the chance that he or she truly has the flu (and not just a nasty cold) is only about 10%. Of the next 27 patients calling in claiming to have the flu, we are interested in how many actually have the flu. X ~ 27 0.1 Find the probability that exactly 10 of the 27 patients actually have the flu. 0.00014 Find the probability that fewer than 5 of the 27 patients actually have the flu. Find the mean of the distribution. 2.7 Find the standard deviation of the distribution. 1.558846
