Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given,

A patient will respond to treatment of a particular disease with a probability of 0.9. If 15 patients were treated, the number of patients expected to respond to the treatment is

0.9 x 15 = 13.5

Rounding to the nearest whole number

number of patients expected to respond to the treatment is 14
