About 2% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 1000 people are randomly selected. Find the mean for the number of people with the genetic mutation in such groups of 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We khow that the genetic mutation affect 2 percent of the population.

Let's try to understand what does this mean:

in a group of 100 people there is possibility of finding 2 people with this genetic mutation in a group of 1000 the possibility raises to 20 people so we can deduce that each time we add a zero we add a zero in 2

so:

100⇒2 1000⇒20 10000⇒200 100000⇒2000

and so on
