Final answer:
The Today's Patients Report likely only includes current-day patients, not those expected tomorrow. The probability of a patient truly having the flu when they claim to is 4 percent. For 25 patients, the expected number with the flu can be calculated.
Step-by-step explanation:
False, you cannot see patients who are expected to be admitted tomorrow on the Today's Patients Report. This report presumably includes only patients that are scheduled or admitted for the current day. However, the main subject of the given question pertains to the probability of patients actually having the flu when they call in claiming to have it. Based on the nurse's comment, there is a 4 percent chance that a patient claiming to have the flu truly has it. So, for the next 25 patients reporting they have the flu, we would be interested in finding the expected number of patients who actually have the flu, using the provided probability.
