Question (1):
The data in the table below relate to cadence. Form a frequency distribution using the classes 70 - 79.9 , 80 - 89.9 ...., 130 - 139.9
Display the information as a histogram. Use your frequency table to calculate an estimate of the mean and sample standard deviation if this data. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the population mean, clearly stating any assumptions you have made.

Question (2)
The probability that a patient will have an allergic reaction to a particular pain killing drug is 0.01.
(i)If a group of 15 patients are given this drug, what is the probability that one person has an allergic reaction ?
(ii)Using the Poisson approximation to the binomial, what is the probability that no one in a group of 120 patients has an allergic reaction ?
