Myopia in children. Myopia, also called short-sightedness, is a common visual impairment that is reaching alarming proportions worldwide. The condition typically develops in school-age children and adolescents. It has long been thought that the condition was associated with too much reading, but recent evidence suggests instead that a lack of exposure to natural outdoor light may play a role. To investigate this new theory, researchers compared rates of myopia among randomly selected young children (6 and 7 years old) of Chinese ethnicity living in either Sydney (Australia) or Singapore. The researchers found that 4 of the 124 children in the Australian sample had myopia, compared with 183 among the 628 children from Singapore Required:
a. Display the findings in a two-way table. What percent of the children in the study had myopia?
b. What is that percent among the children living in Australia and among those living in Singapore?

a. percentage of children with myopia = 24.87%

b. 3.23% of children living in Australia have myopia

29.14% 0f children living in Singapore have myopia

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

the table is an attachment

percentage of children with myopia in this study

number of children with myopia in Australia = 4

number of children with myopia in Singapore = 183

total children with myopia = 4 + 183 = 187

total number of Australian children = 124

total number of Singapore children = 628

total number of children = 124 + 628 = 752

percentage with myopia = 187/752 * 100 = 24.87%

2.

percentage of Australian children with myopia

total children from Australia = 124

those with myopia = 4

percentage = 4/124 * 100 = 3.23% of children living in Australia have myopia

percentage of Singapore children with myopia

total number of children = 628

those with myopia = 183

percentage = 183/628 * 100 = 29.14% 0f children living in Singapore have myopia

answer: it is d
