Supposing that you are a district manager of a health management organization (HMO) who is monitoring the office of a local doctor or nurse in general family practice. This morning the office you are watching has eight office visits on the schedule. Explain what is the probability that?
As a minimum half the patients are under 15 years old? First, clarify how this can be modelled as a binomial distribution with 8 trials where success is visitor age is under 15 years old and the probability of success is 20%.
