Transcribed Image Text:b. Find the probability of getting 4 or more sleepwalkers among 5 adults.
|(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
c. Which probability is relevant for determining whether 4 is a significantly high number of sleepwalkers among 5 adults: the result from part (a) or part (b)?
OA. Since the probability of getting fewer than 4 sleepwalkers is the complement of the result from part (b), this is the relevant probability.
B. Since the probability of getting 4 sleepwalkers is the result from part (a), this is the relevant probability.
c. Since the probability of getting 5 sleepwalkers is less likely than getting 4 sleepwalkers, the result from part (a) is the relevant probability.
D. Since the probability of getting 5 sleepwalkers includes getting 4 sleepwalkers, the result from part (b) is the relevant probability.
d. Is 4 a significantly high number of 4 sleepwalkers among 5 adults? Why or why not? Use 0.05 as the threshold for a significant event.
