At one point during the COVID-19 crisis, the probability that an person who tested positive for the illness would infect another person they came into contact with was 75% . Suppose on that day, the infected person came into contact with 15 other people.

For each part below, show the formula set-up and round your final answers to four decimal places.

a) The probability the ill person infected exactly 10 people out of the 15.

b) the probability the ill person infected at most 2 of the 15 people.

c) the probability the ill person infected at least 3 people out of the 15.

d) what are the expected number of people the ill person will infect? Round to the nearest whole number.

Somebody speculates that a person will test COVID 19 positive with probability 0.2. Then for finding the probability for exactly 100 patients testing positive in a sample of 400 patients, how do you do continuity correction? In the above question, what is the required probability using normal approximation to binomial? What is the probability that at least 70 patients test COVID 19 positive?

If an infected person is tested for corona, the probability that the test will give a positive result is 0.60 and if this person is not infected the probability that it will give a positive result is 0.10. Suppose that 2% of the people are corona infected. If one random person is tested for corona using this test, then the probability that the test will give a positive result is
