Reseаrchers аre cоncerned аbоut the prevalence оf hypertension among a population of elderly patients at a cardiovascular clinic aged 45-60. Suppose the prevalence of hypertension in the group is actually quite high at 38%. Assume that a sample of 14 participants is collected. Use a binomial distribution to solve for the following. a) What is the expected number of participants in this age range to report hypertension? (1 point)[16a] (Example answer #.##) b) What is the probability associated with finding 7 responses indicating hypertension? (1 point)[16b] (Example answer .####) c) What is the probability associated with finding between 5 and 8 responses indicating hypertension? (1 point)[16c] (Example answer .####) (hint x is 6 and 7)
