If the drug is not effective then every patient is equally


Researchers conduct a pilot study to test the effectiveness of a drug in preventing a certain disease. Of 20 patients in the study, 10 are randomly assigned to receive the drug and 10 to receive a placebo. After 1 year, suppose five patients in the control group contract the disease, while two patients who took the drug contract the disease

(a) For a test of homogeneity, what are the expected cell counts?

(b) If the drug is not effective, then every patient is equally likely to contract the disease. In that case, if 7 patients out of 20 contract the disease, what is the probability that 2 of them are in the treatment group?

(c) In that case, what is the probability that two or fewer of them are in the treatment group?
