4. For a particular disease, the chance of a patient getting cured is 60%. You have randomly selected 150 patients and you are interested to calculate the probability that exactly 100 patients get cured. What mean and standard deviation will you use for the normal approximation of this binomial problem? 4a-What would be the probability that exactly 100 patients got cured in problem 4 above?
