Assume independence. a. Find the probability that he wins 5 games, loses 3 games, and draws 4 games. b. Find the probability that he wins 7 games and draws 5 games. c. Find the probability that Stéphane wins at least 8 games.

True/False Censoring occurs when the event of interest (e.g., disease status) is observed on every individual, usually due to time constraints. The incidence rate (IR), is computed by taking the ratio of the number of new cases of disease to the total number of person-time units available. The prevalence of a disease depends on the incidence of the disease as well as the duration of the disease.

A binomial experiment consists of 400 trials with the probability of success for each trial 0.3.What is the probability of obtaining 133 or more successes? (This binomial experiment easily passes the rule-of-thumb test, as you can check. When computing the probability, adjust the given interval by extending the range by 0.5 on each side.)P(obtaining 390-420 successes) = ________ Please see table attached.
