Chapter 5, #35 is different in the book than on the answer solutions. Can you please help me w/ the following:
The Center for Medicare and Medical Services reported that there were 295,000 appeals for hospitalization and other Part A Medicare service. For this group, 40% of the first round appeals were successful. Suppose 10 first round appeals have just been received by a Medicare appeals office.
Probability that a first round appeal is successful = 40% = 0.4
Let number of successful first round appeals among the 10 first round appeals received be X.
Thus :- X ~ Binomial (10,0.4)
