In a survey of consumers aged 12 and​ older, respondents were asked how many cell phones were in use by the household.​ (No two

respondents were from the same​ household.) Among the​ respondents, answered​ "none," said​ "one," said​ "two," said​ "three," and responded with four or more. A survey respondent is selected at random. Find the probability that​ his/her household has four or more cell phones in use. Is it unlikely for a household to have four or more cell phones in​ use? Consider an event to be unlikely if its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.

Answer:

The probability that​ his/her household has four or more cell phones in use is 0.122 or 12.2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The complete question is</u>: In a survey of consumers aged 12 and​ older, respondents were asked how many cell phones were in use by the household.​ (No two respondents were from the same​ household.) Among the​ respondents, 215 answered​ "none", 280 said​ "one", 362 said​ "two", 149 said​ "three," and 140 responded with four or more. A survey respondent is selected at random. Find the probability that​ his/her household has four or more cell phones in use. Is it unlikely for a household to have four or more cell phones in​ use? Consider an event to be unlikely if its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.

We are given that among the​ respondents, 215 answered​ "none", 280 said​ "one", 362 said​ "two", 149 said​ "three," and 140 responded with four or more.

A survey respondent is selected at random.

As we know that the probability of any event is calculated as;

                Probability = \frac{\text{Favorable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

Here, we have to find the probability that​ his/her household has four or more cell phones in use;

Number of respondent having four or more cell phones in use = 140

Total number of respondents asked = 215 + 280 + 362 + 149 + 140 = 1146

<u>So, the required probability</u> = \frac{140}{1146}

                                              = 0.122 or 12.2%

No, it is not unlikely for a household to have four or more cell phones in​ use because the probability is not less than or equal to 0.05 but in actual it is greater than 0.05.

4vir4ik [10]
No, I can't.  That conclusion would be completely unwarranted, unsupported
as it is by any available facts.  We don't know anything about either line, not
even whether they are on the same planet.  Do you have a drawing or something
that might give us some information about them ?

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

the line doesnt connect with a negative so the first and third arent it. And the line cross's with a 3 not an x so the seconds on isnt the answer. Leaving the last one the answer.
