The problem you are working on is about calculating probabilities involving hypertension using binomial distribution.

Given:

• The probability $p = 0.34$ (since 34% of adults have hypertension).
• Sample size $n = 24$.

Recap of Parts 1 and 2:

1. Part (a): The probability that exactly 4 people have hypertension is already solved as $0.0349$.

2. Part (b): The probability that more than 8 people have hypertension is also provided as $0.4330$.

Let's solve Part 3:

Part (c): We need to calculate the probability that fewer than 4 people in the sample have hypertension.

This can be computed using the binomial probability formula:

$P(X < 4) = \sum_{x=0}^{3} \binom{n}{x} p^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where:

• $n = 24$ (sample size),
• $p = 0.34$ (probability of hypertension),
• $X$ is the number of people with hypertension,
• We are summing the probabilities for $X = 0$, $X = 1$, $X = 2$, and $X = 3$.

You can use a binomial calculator or software to find these cumulative probabilities directly.

Would you like a more detailed explanation of the binomial calculation, or should I help you compute the value?

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

1. How would the probability change if the sample size increased?
2. What is the expected number of people with hypertension in the sample?
3. How can we compute the standard deviation for this binomial distribution?
4. How would you calculate the probability for exactly 5 people having hypertension?
5. What would happen to the probabilities if the percentage of adults with hypertension increased to 40%?

Tip: The sum of probabilities for all possible outcomes in a binomial distribution must equal 1.
