Office Visits what is the age distribution of patients who make office visits to a doctor or nurse? The following table is based on information taken from the Medical Practice Characteristics section of the Statistical Abstract of the United States.

Age group, years	Under 15	15-24	25-44	45-64	65 and older
Percent of office visitors	20%	10%	25%	20%	25%

Suppose that you are a district manager of a health management organization (HMO) who is monitoring the office of a local doctor or nurse in general family practice. This morning the office you are monitoring has eight office visits on the schedule. What is the probability that?

At least half the patients are under 15 years old? First, explain how this can be modeled as a binomial distribution with 8 trials, where success is visitor age is under 15 years old and the probability of success is 20%.
