Heart failure is due to either natural occurrences (86%) or outside factors (14%). Outside factors are related to induced substances or foreign objects. Natural occurrences are caused by arterial blockage, disease, and infection. Suppose that 18 patients will visit an emergency room with heart failure. Assume that causes of heart failure between individuals are independent.


Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

AWhat is the probability that 3 individuals have conditions caused by outside factors?

Probability =

BWhat is the probability that 3 or more individuals have conditions caused by outside factors?

Probability =

CWhat is the mean and standard deviation of the number of individuals with conditions caused by outside factors?

Mean =


Standard deviation =
