Question

At a certain hospital there are 100 available beds for patients atany given day. The probability that a patient will stay at thehospital for further observation is 10%. Suppose that patientsarrive independently of each other. a. Write an expression of the exact probability that, if 1000patients arrive at this hospital at any given day, there will notbe enough space for all the patients that must stay for furtherobservation. b. Approximate the above probability using the normaldistribution. For this problem, do we do theapproximation equation P(X=k)=P(k - .5 - mean)/(SD)
