The Problem
A Certain Surgical procedure has an 85% chance of success. A doctor performs the procedure on eight patients. The random variable represents the number of successful surgeries.

Why is This Binomial
This experiment is binomial because it satisfies the four conditions of a binomial experiment.
1. The experiment is repeated for a fixed number of trials, where each trial is independent of the other trial.
2.There are only two possible outcomes of interest for each trial. The outcomes can be classified as a success S of a failure F
3. The probability of a success P (S) is the sane for each trial. 4. The random variable x counts the number of successful trials.

Binomial Explanation
In this experiment, each surgery represents one trial. There are eight surgeries, and each surgery is independent of the others.
There are only two possible outcomes for each surgery – either the surgery is a success or a failure.
Also, the probability of success for each surgery is .85.
Finally, the random variable x represents the number of successful surgeries.

The Solution
N = 8 P = 0.85 Q = 1 – 0.85 = 0.15 X = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 The Probability of success = 0.85 The Probability of failure = 0.15
