Q1

(a)

Hypertension is a chronic health condition where the pressure of the

blood is relatively high. Pusat Kesihatan Universiti (PKU) report that
the probability of a patient who suffer from hypertension will lead to
kidney problem is binomially distributed. If 2000 patients diagnosed
with hypertension are selected at random and examined, find the
probability that :
(i)

Fewer than four of the 2000 patients diagnosed will lead to

kidney problem
( 4 marks )

(ii)

There are seven patients diagnosed with hypertension will lead

to kidney problem.
( 4 marks )

(iii)

What is the standard deviation for this distribution?

( 4 marks )

(b)

Explain when normal approximation to binomial distribution could be

performed.
( 3 marks )
