Understanding Sample Proportions and the Binomial Distribution

Hi,

I am doing a past paper but I am kinda stuck on one of the questions.

These are the answers I have:
2a. 225/260 = 0.8654
2b. 32/260 * 4/32 = 0.01407
2c. 32/260 * 28/32 + 228/260 * 221/228 = 0.9577

Then for 2d, I have no idea what to do. Am i suppose to draw one of those probability distribution table? And what does it mean sample proportion of accurate ZikaCheck result?

Thank you very much.

Hi smallso,

Have you covered the binomial distribution? Usually when we talk about proportions that are related to two outcomes this involves this distribution. Does that sound familiar?
