A certain type of flashlight requires two type-D batteries, and the flashlight will work only if both its batteries have acceptable voltages. Suppose that 90% of all batteries from a certain supplier have acceptable voltages. Among fifteen randomly selected flashlights, what is the probability that at least fourteen will work? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

According to a recent study, 3 in every 8 women has been a victim of domestic abuse. This probability was obtained from a survey of 1,000 adult women. Suppose we randomly sample 25 women and find that 7 have been abused. Complete parts a through c below. G a. What is the probability of observing 7 or more abused women in a sample of 25 if the proportion p of women who are victims of domestic abuse is really p= ㅎ? The probability of observing 7 or more abused women in a sample of 25 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

A survey showed that 79% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight.
