The probability of an event is the measurement of the chance of that event's occurrence. The probabilities of considered events are:
- P(At least 8 have the disease) ≈ 0.4378
- P(At most 4 have the disease) ≈ 0.0342
Binomial distributions consist of n independent Bernoulli trials. Bernoulli trials are those trials that end up randomly either on success (with probability p) or on failures( with probability 1- p = q (say))
Suppose we have random variable X pertaining to a binomial distribution with parameters n and p, then it is written as
X = B(n,p)
The probability that out of n trials, there'd be x successes is given by
P(X=x) =
Since 10 people can be either diseased or not and they be so independent of each other (assuming them to be selected randomly) , thus, we can take them being diseased or not as outputs of 10 independent Bernoulli trials.
Let we say
Success= Probability of a diseased person tagged as diseased by the clinic
Failure = Probability of a diseased person tagged as not diseased by the clinic.
Then,
P(Success) = p = 72% = 0.72 (of a single person)
P(Failure) = q = 1-p = 0.28
Let X be the number of people diagnosed diseased by the clinic out of 10 diseased people. Then we have: X ≈ B(n+10,P=0.73)
Calculating the needed probabilities, we get:
a) P(At leased 8 have disease) = P(X≥8) =P(X=8) + P(X=9) + P(X=10)
P(X≥8) =
P(X≥8) ≈ 0.2548 + 0.1456 + 0.0374 ≈ 0.4378
b) P(At most 4 have the disease) = P(X≤4) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)
P (X ≤ 4) =
P (X ≤ 4) = 0.000003 + 0.000076+0.00088+0.00604+0.02719
P (X ≤ 4) = 0.0342
Thus,
The probabilities of considered events are:
- P(At leased 8 have disease) = 0.4378 approx
- P(At most 4 have the disease) = 0.0342 approx

Answer:
The circle has an area of about 1385 square mm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's recall that circles have an area that can be found with the following formula:
where r is the radius of the circle.
Now, focus your eyes on the circle. We are shown that the diameter of this circle is 42 mm, but we only want the radius. Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is 21 mm. Now, we can solve for the area of the circle.
So, to the nearest whole number, the area of the circle is 1385 square mm.
