Eleven percent of American children (ages 4 to 17) have Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) according to the Center for Disease Control. Suppose six American children in this age group are randomly selected, is the probability that at least one has ADHD unusual? No, this probability is not unusual because it is more than 0.05. Yes, this probability is unusual because it is more than 0.05. No, this probability is not unusual because it is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Yes, this probability is unusual because it is not within 2 standard deviations of the mean. No, this probability is not unusual because it is more than 0.01.arrow_forward
