A survey showed that 81​% of adults need correction​ (eyeglasses, contacts,​ surgery, etc.) for their eyesight. If 11 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?

The probability that no more than 1 of the 11 adults require eyesight correction is

Answer:

5.579 * [tex]10^{-7}[/tex] or  0.00005579 %

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you select 11 random adults, so the order is not important and we should use combination instead of permutation. There are two different probability here

A= chance that the adults need correction= 0.81

B= chance that the adult doesn't need correction = 0.19

The case that can fulfill the condition of no more than 1 of 11 adults need correction is:

1. 0 adult need correction = 0C11 * [tex]B^{11}[/tex]

2. 1 adult need correction = 1C11 * [tex]A^{1}[/tex] * [tex]B^{10}[/tex]

Then the probability will be:

0C11 * [tex]B^{11}[/tex] +1C11 * [tex]A^{1}[/tex] * [tex]B^{10}[/tex]=

[tex]\frac{11!}{0!(11-0)!}[/tex]  *   [tex]0.19^{11}[/tex]   +    [tex]\frac{11!}{1!(11-1)!}[/tex] * [tex]0.19^{10}[/tex] *0.81 =

5.579 * [tex]10^{-7}[/tex]= 0.00005579 %

The threshold for a significant value that widely used is 5% and the chance is lower than 5%, so no more than 1 adult need correction is a significantly low number of adults requiring eyesight​ correction?
