1. The given statement A hospital performs 100 surgeries per week. The probability that complications after surgery occur is 10%. The number of people suffering complications after surgery in a given week is a discrete random variable is True.
2. The correct answer is (a) binomial distribution.
The number of patients suffering complications after surgery in a given week is an example of a binomial distribution.
In this scenario:
There are a fixed number of trials (surgeries), which is 100 per week.
Each surgery is independent of the others.
There are only two possible outcomes for each surgery: either complications occur (success) with a probability of 10%, or complications do not occur (failure) with a probability of 90%.
These characteristics define a binomial distribution, making it an appropriate model for the number of patients suffering complications after surgery in a given week. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) binomial distribution.
