8. (19 pts) Many veterans who bravely served in Iraq during Operation Enduring Freedom have developed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A large study of returning veterans showed that 53% of the soldiers suffered from PTSD after serving in Iraq. A random sample of 200 veterans from Iraq were selected for additional research. Let X represent the number suffering from PTSD.
a. State the values of n and p for this binomial experiment. (2 pts.)
b. Compute the mean and standard deviation for X. Round to 2 decimal places. (5 pts.)
c. Verify whether or not the the distribution is approximately normally distributed ( 4 pts).
d. Compute the range of "usual" values for X. (4 pts.)
e. Would it be unusual to observe 75 soldiers suffering from PTSD? Why? (4 pts.)
