The percentage of people given an antirheumatoid who suffer severe, moderate, or minor side effects are 11, 20 and 69%, respectively. Assume that people react independently and that 20 people are given the medicine. Determine the following. Round your answers to four decimal places (e. g. 98.7654). (a) The probability 2, 4, and 14 people will suffer severe, moderate, or minor side effects, respectively.

Answer:2.9235

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 20 people are administered the medicine and;

11% of the 20 people suffer severe i. e 11% of 20 = 2.2 people

20% of them suffer moderate i. e

20% of 20 = 4 people and;

69% of the 20 people suffer minor side i. e

69% of 20 = 13.8 people

Therefore the probability 2, 4, and 14 people will suffer severe, moderate, or minor side effects, respectively will be;

2/2.2 + 4/4 + 14/13.8 (i. e possible outcome/total outcome)

This will give us 2.9235
