The GenPik pharmaceutical company wishes to test their fertility medication on a large sample of families with 8 children. To analyze their results, they have asked you to calculate the expected probabilities of such an event.
(1) Create a probability distribution listing the outcomes and probabilities for the number of girls expected in 8 births (keep in mind that x will go from 0 to 8).
(2) Calculate the mean, standard deviation, and variance of your probability distribution.
(3) Using your calculated values above, determine the cutoff values for the number of girls in 8 births that would be unusually high and unusually low.
(4) If 23% of families with 8 children who took GenPik’s medication have over 6 girls, is it reasonable to conclude that the medication significantly increases a couple’s chance of having girls? Explain.

Centron, a pharmaceutical company, produces an allergy relief
medication called Breezia. The company claims that the population
standard deviation of the duration of Breezia's allergy relief is
2.50 hours. A scientist with the FDA suspects, however, that the
standard deviation of the duration of Breezia's allergy relief is
greater than (less consistent than) what the company claims.
The scientist obtains a random sample of 24 adults with allergy
sensitivities, measures the duration of Breezia's allergy relief
for each person, and...

Q3. A or B?
A pharmaceutical company is testing two new medication that
alleviates rheumatism symptoms. 35 random patients tested drug A
and 71% of them reported their symptoms are alleviated. 60 random
patients (who are different from patients who tried drug A) tried
drug B and 73% of them reported they felt better after taking the
medication. Suppose, the pharmaceutical company would launch an
advertising campaign if more then 70% of the patients report the
medication is effective.
