Description
Suppose that there is a clinical trial in place.
Let X be the number of patients, out of group of size n, who present a successful
recovery under the treatment in question.
Assume patients recover independently of one another.
Suppose also, that the probability that a particular patient recovers is Uniformly
distributed over [0,1] – that is the probability of successful recovery – p.
a.
What is the distribution of X/P=p
b.
Find expected number of number of patients, out of this group, who recover
successfully.
c.
Find variance of number of patients, out of this group, who recover successfully.
