Medical research has shown that a certain type of chemotherapy is successful 70% of the time when used to treat skin cancer. Suppose 5 skin cancer patients are treated with this type of chemotherapy. Let X equal the number of patients out of 5 who are cured. The probability distribution for the number of patients out of 5 who are cured is given in the following table: X 0 1 2 3 4 5 P (X) 0.002 0.029 0.132 0.309 0.360 0.168 Find σ2 = E .
