One of the most common laboratory tests performed on any routine medical examination is a blood count. The two main aspects to a blood count are (1) counting the number of white blood cells (referred to as the “white count”) and (2) differentiating white blood cells that do exist into five categories, namely, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils (referred to as the “differential”). Both the white count and the differential are extensively used in making clinical diagnoses. We will concentrate here on the differential, particularly on the distribution of the number of neutrophils k out of 100 white blood cells (which is the typical number counted). We will see that the number of neutrophils follows a binomial distribution. Reconsider the problem above with 5 cells rather than 100 and ask the more limited question. How many possible combinations can we attain if the second and the fifth cells considered will be neutrophils and the remaining cells nonneutrophils given that the probability that any one cell is a neutrophil is 0.6? Based on the computation done by the biostatistician, the total number of combinations are 10. a. True b. False
