Example The lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is about 1.25%. (a) What is the probability of that you ask ten people before one says he or she has lung cancer? (b) Find the (i) mean and (ii) standard deviation. Solution: (a) P = 0.0125 q = 1- 0.01 = 0.9875 x=10 = = モ1 = 10 = (0.0125)(0.9875)101 = 10 = 0.0112
(b) = 1 = 1 0.0125 = 80 . = 2 . = 0.9875 (0.0125)2 = 79.50
