Hospital records show that of patients suffering from a COVID-19 disease, 20% die of it. What is the probability that of 10 randomly selected patients, 8 will recover? Answer: a.) What discrete probability distribution will be used to compute for the probability? b.) Compute for the probability. c.) What is the definition of success and failure in this case?

The prevalance of mild myopia (nearsightedness) in adults over age 40 is 27% in the US. Suppose eight adults over age 40 are chosen at random from the population; let Y denote the number of adults with mild myopia. Which of the following can be used to find the probability that 3 of them have mild myopia?

A study of the incoming freshman class at a university found that 60% of the students had taken AP Calculus in high school, 55% had taken AP English in high school, and 20% had taken both AP Calculus and AP English. One incoming freshman is randomly selected from the population of incoming freshman. Let: C = the selected student took AP Calculus E = the selected student took AP English What is the probability that the selected incoming freshman took AP English or AP Calculus, i.e. P( C or E)? 0.15 O 0.75 0.80 0.05 0.95

A survey showed that 75% of adults need correction (eyeglasses, contacts, surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 10 adults are randomly selected, find the probability that at least 9 of them need correction for their eyesight. Is 9 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? The probability that at least 9 of the 10 adults require eyesight correction is ____ (Round to three decimal places as needed) Is 9 a significantly high number of adults requiring eyesight correction? Note that a small probability is one that is less than 0.05. A. Yes, because the probability of this occurring is small. B. No, because the probability of this occurring is small. C.Yes, because the probability of this occurring is not small. D. No, because the probability of this occurring is not small.
