A local newspaper compiles data on the number of days, X, people in a neighborhood receive the newspaper. The probability distri
bution for the data is shown in the table below. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person receives the newspaper at least one day per week?
The data for this problem is provided below: x 0 1 2 5 7 P(x) 17% 16% 14% 12% 41%
Where x is number of days that a person receives the newspaper per week and P(x) is the probability that a person will receive the newspaper according to the number of days per week
We are asked for the probability that a person receives the newspaper at least one day per week So, 16% + 14% + 12% + 41% = 83%
There is 83% probability that a person will receive the newspaper at least one day per week.
