Answer to Question 1

P = 0.08, n = 60,  = E(X) = 4.8, 2 = Var(X) = nP(1 - P) = 4.416, = 2.1
P(X > 8 ) = P(Z > 1.52 ) = 0.0643

Answer to Question 2

The sample size n = 11 is odd, so there will be a middle value. Sorting the data values from smallest to largest produce the following; 4.4, 16.4, 22.2, 30.0, 33.1, 36.6, 40.4, 66.7, 73.7, 81.5, and 109.9. The sixth value, 36.6 is the middle, or median, value.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
