Question

The probability of flu symptoms for a person not receiving any treatment is 0.023

In a clinical trial of a common drug used to lower​ cholesterol,

26

of

1039

people treated experienced flu symptoms. Assuming the drug has no effect on the likelihood of flu​ symptoms, estimate the probability that at least

26

people experience flu symptoms. What do these results suggest about flu symptoms as an adverse reaction to the​ drug?

(a)
​P(x≥26)equals=____
​(Round to four decimal places as​ needed.)
​(b) What does the result from part​ (a) suggest?
 
 
A.
The drug has no effect on flu symptoms because  
x ≥2626
is highly unlikely.
 
B.
The drug increases the likelihood of flu symptoms because
x≥2626
is not highly unlikely.
 
C.
The drug increases the likelihood of flu symptoms because
x≥2626
is highly unlikely.
 
D.
The drug has no effect on flu symptoms because
x≥2626
is not highly unlikely.
