A survey showed that 72​% of adults need correction​ (eyeglasses, contacts,​ surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 18 adults are

randomly​ selected, find the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 1 a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight​ correction?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  survey showed that 72​% of adults need correction​ (eyeglasses, contacts,​ surgery, etc.) for their eyesight

X - number of people who need correction for their eyesight

X is binomial since each event is independent and there are only two outcmes.

X (18, 0.72)

Required probability = the probability that no more than 1 of them need correction for their eyesight.

=P(X=0)+P(X=1)=0.00000296+0.000137

=0.00014

Yes 1 is a significantly low number as probability is almost zero.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

a) 9.56%

b) 0.0019

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Find the z-scores.

z = (x − μ) / σ

z₁ = (-0.0050) / 0.0030

z₁ = -1.67

z₂ = (0.0050) / 0.0030

z₂ = 1.67

Find the probability using a chart or calculator.

P(Z < -1.67 or Z > 1.67) = 2 P(Z < -1.67)

P(Z < -1.67 or Z > 1.67) = 2 (0.0478)

P(Z < -1.67 or Z > 1.67) = 0.0956

b) Use a chart or calculator to find the z-score.

P(Z < -z or Z > z) = 0.01

P(Z < -z) = 0.005

z = 2.576

Find the standard deviation.

z = (x − μ) / σ

2.576 = (0.0050) / σ

σ = 0.0019

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding segments are proportional.

  (3x +1)/10 = (7x -1)/22

  11(3x +1) = 5(7x -1) . . . . . . multiply by 110

  33x + 11 = 35x -5 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  16 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 5-33x to both sides

  8 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
