Hormonal regulation of a metabolic pathway

Reference no: EM131938912

Albino rats used to study the hormonal regulation of a metabolic pathway are injected with a drug that inhibits body synthesis of protein. The probability that a rat will die from the drug before the experiment is over is .2. If 10 animals are treated with the drug, how many are expected to die before the experiment ends? What is the probability that at least eight will survive? Would you be surprised if at least five died during the course of the experiment? Explain, based on the probability of this occurring.
