The probability that first patient is who is nearsighted is 0.027552
What is probability?
Probability is a synonym for potential. It is a field of mathematics that examines how random events happen. From zero to one, the value is stated. To forecast the likelihood of events, probability has been introduced in mathematics.
42% people are examined nearsighted
∴ 100- 42
= 58%
So 58% people are examined with no nearsighted
The likelihood that an ophthalmologist will first evaluate 5 people who are not nearsighted, then 1 person who is, is:
[tex]P = 0.58^{5}* 0.42^{1}[/tex]
P = 0.0656 * 0.42
= 0.027552
