The answer is A: They provide protection for patented inventions from infringement.

Explanation for each option:

A. They provide protection for patented inventions from infringement.

  • This is correct. Patent laws are designed to protect inventors by granting them exclusive rights to their inventions for a limited period. This means that others cannot make, use, sell, or distribute the patented invention without the inventor's permission, thus preventing infringement.

B. They help the inventor guard his patented invention from the public.

  • This is incorrect. While patent laws protect the invention from being used by others without permission, they do not keep the invention secret from the public. In fact, one of the requirements of obtaining a patent is that the inventor must fully disclose the details of the invention to the public.

C. They help the inventor meet potential buyers for his patented inventions.

  • This is incorrect. Patent laws do not facilitate meetings between inventors and potential buyers. However, having a patent can make an invention more attractive to potential buyers or investors because it provides legal protection.

D. They let the inventor keep his patents indefinitely.

  • This is incorrect. Patents are granted for a limited period, typically 20 years from the filing date, after which the protection expires, and the invention enters the public domain. This limited duration encourages innovation and the sharing of knowledge.

Use a normal approximation to find the probability of the indicated number of voters. In this case, assume that 158 eligible voters aged 18-24 are randomly selected. Suppose a previous study showed that among eligible voters aged 18-24, 22% of them voted. Probability that fewer than 37 voted The probability that fewer than 37 of 158 eligible voters voted is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
