0.033 (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 fro

A. Since the probability of getting 4 sleepwalkers is the result from part (a), this is the relevant probability.

B. Since the probability of getting fewer than 4 sleepwalkers is the complement of the result from part (b), 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.

У D.

Since the probability of getting 4 or more sleepwalkers is the probability of the given or more extreme result, 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. A. Yes, since the appropriate probability is less than 0.05, it is a significantly high number.

B. No, since the appropriate probability is less than 0.05, it is not a significantly high number.

C. Yes, since the appropriate probability is greater than 0.05, it is a significantly high number.

D. No, since the appropriate probability is greater than 0.05, it is not a significantly high number.
