Suppose the prevalence (p=.32) of type II diabetes follows a binomial distribution in a community. Researchers want to sample 15 households from the community for a new study investigating ethnographic ties to the chronic illness. What is the cumulative probability of selecting 8 or more diabetics in the sample from the community? What is the probability of selecting between 6 and 10 diabetics in the sample from the community?
