As part of a drug research study, individuals suffering from arthritis take an experimental pain relief medication. Suppose that 15% of all individuals who take the new drug experience a certain side effect. For a given individual, let X be either 1 or 0, depending on whether he or she experienced the side effect or not, respectively. Complete parts a through c below. a. If n= 3 people take the drug, find the probability distribution of the proportion who will experience the side effect. (Hint: List all possible values for the sample proportion and their chances of occurring.) P(x) х 3 (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
