Answer: 0.951%

Explanation:

Note that in the problem, the scenario is either the adult is using or not using smartphones. So, we have a yes or no scenario involved with the random variable, which is the number of adults using smartphones. Thus, the number of adults using smartphones follows the binomial distribution.

Let x be the number of adults using smartphones and n be the number of randomly selected adults. In Binomial distribution, the probability that there are k adults using smartphones is given by

P(x = k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}p^k (1-p)^{n-k}

Where p = probability that an adult is using smartphones = 54% (since 54% of adults are using smartphones). 

Since n = 12 and k = 3, the probability that fewer than 3 are using smartphones is given by

P(x \ \textless \  3) = P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2)
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{0!(12-0)!}(0.54)^0 (1-0.54)^{12-0} + \frac{12!}{1!(12-1)!}(0.54)^1 (1-0.54)^{12-1} + \\ \indent \frac{12!}{2!(12-2)!}(0.54)^2 (1-0.54)^{12-2}
\\
\\ \indent = \frac{12!}{(1)(12!)}(0.46)^{12} + \frac{12(11!)}{(1)(11!)}(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ \frac{12(11)(10!)}{(2)(10!)}(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\
\\ \indent = (1)(0.46)^{12} + (12)(0.54)(0.46)^{11}+ (66)(0.54)^2(0.46)^{10}
\\ \indent \boxed{P(x \ \textless \  3) \approx 0.00951836732 }


Therefore, the probability that there are fewer than 3 adults are using smartphone is 0.00951 or 0.951%.

What are the relative frequencies, to the nearest hundredth, of the rows of the two-way table?
sveta [45]

Answer:       A                 B

Group 1     0.25          0.75

Group 2    0.44          0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people of A in group 1 = 15

Number of people of B in group 1 = 45

Total number of people in group 1 is given by

15+45=60

Relative frequency of people of A in Group 1 is given by

\frac{15}{60}=0.25

Relative frequency of people of B in Group 1 is given by

\frac{45}{60}=0.75

Similarly, Number of people of A in group 2 = 20

Number of people of B in group 2 = 25

Total number of people in group 2 is given by

20+25=45

Relative frequency of people of A in Group 2 is given by

\frac{20}{45}=0.44

Relative frequency of people of B in Group 2 is given by

\frac{25}{45}=0.56

Hence,        A                 B

Group 1     0.25          0.75

Group 2    0.44          0.56
