A survey showed that 77% of us need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. 13 adults are randomly

selected, find the probability that at least 12 of them need correction for their eyesight is 12 a significantly high
number of adults requiring eyesight correction?
The probability that at least 12 of the 13 adults require eyesight correction is I
(Round to three decimal places as needed)
Is 12 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? Note that a small probability is one that is less than 0.05.

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the probability that at least 12 of the 13 adults require eyesight correction is of 0.163 = 16.3%. Since this probability is greater than 5%, it is found that 12 is not a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction.

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes, either they need correction for their eyesight, or they do not. The probability of a person needing correction is independent of any other person, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

  • A survey showed that 77% of us need correction, hence p = 0.77.
  • 13 adults are randomly selected, hence n = 13.

The probability that at least 12 of them need correction for their eyesight is given by:

P(X \geq 12) = P(X = 12) + P(X = 13)

In which:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 12) = C_{13,12}.(0.77)^{12}.(0.23)^{1} = 0.1299

P(X = 13) = C_{13,13}.(0.77)^{13}.(0.23)^{0} = 0.0334

Then:

P(X \geq 12) = P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) = 0.1299 + 0.0334 = 0.163

The probability that at least 12 of the 13 adults require eyesight correction is of 0.163 = 16.3%. Since this probability is greater than 5%, it is found that 12 is not a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction.

The answer should be $700

Because $12.50 · 56 = $700

PLEASEEE SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS!!!! It’s due in a couple hours
zimovet [89]

Answer:

x = 8.0 m

Step-by-step explanation:

With the angle presented, I'm assuming you know basic trigonometry. We know cosθ = adj/hyp from SOH CAH TOA. We have angle and hypotenuse, so plugging in those values we get cos(20°) = x / 8.5. Solve for x to get 8.5cos(20°) = 7.987387277 m = 8.0 m.
