BackTesting a Drug A drug manufacturer claims that a drug cures a rare skin disease 75% of the time. The claim is checked by testing the drug on 100 patients. If at least 70 patients are cured, then this claim will be accepted. Use this information in Exercises 31 and 32.
Find the probability that the claim will be accepted, assuming that the actual probability that the drug cures the skin disease is 65%.
A biologist is monitoring a large bird sanctuary where a particular bird species is known to have a 70% success rate for each nesting attempt (at least one chick fledges from the nest). This season, she observes 500 independent nesting attempts across the sanctuary.
(A) What is the probability that exactly 450 nesting attempts are successful?

(B) What is the probability that less than 330 attempts are successful?

(D) What is the probability that 330 – 370 nesting attempts are successful?
