A marketing firm would like to test-market the name of a new energy drink targeted at 18- to 29-year-olds via social media. A st

udy by the Pew Research Center found that 35% of U.S. adults (18 and older) do not use social media (Pew Research Center website, October 2015). The percentage of U.S. young adults age 30 and older is 78%. Suppose that the percentage of the U.S. adult population that is either age 18–29 or uses social media is 67.2%. a. What is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media? b. What is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29? c. What is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media? Anderson, David R.. Essentials of Statistics for Business and Economics (p. 198). Cengage Learning.

Answer:

(a) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c) The probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = an US adult who does not uses social media.

<em>Y</em> = an US adult between the ages 18 and 29.

<em>Z</em> = an US adult between the ages 30 and above.

The information provided is:

P (X) = 0.35

P (Z) = 0.78

P (Y ∪ X') = 0.672

(a)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media as follows:

P (US adult uses social media (<em>X'</em><em>)</em>) = 1 - P (US adult so not use social media)

                                                   =1-P(X)\\=1-0.35\\=0.65

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult uses social media is 0.35.

(b)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 as follows:

P (Adults between 18 - 29 (<em>Y</em>)) = 1 - P (Adults 30 or above)

                                            =1-P(Z)\\=1-0.78\\=0.22

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is aged 18–29 is 0.22.

(c)

Compute the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media as follows:

P (Y ∩ X') = P (Y) + P (X') - P (Y ∪ X')

                =0.22+0.65-0.672\\=0.198

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult is 18–29 and a user of social media is 0.198.

All the pupils at a primary school come from one of three villages: Elmswell, Haughley or Woolpit. 1/4 of the pupils come from E
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

<em>680</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

All the pupils at a primary school come from one of three villages: Elmswell, Haughley or Woolpit.

\frac{1}{4} of the pupils come from Elmswell

\frac{3}{5} of the pupils come from Haughley

102 pupils come from Woolpit.

To find:

Total number of pupils in the school.

Solution:

Let total number of pupils = 100x

So, number of pupils that come from Elmswell = \frac{1}{4} of 100x

OR

\dfrac{1}{4} \times 100x\\\Rightarrow 25x

And, number of pupils that come from Haughley= \frac{3}{5} of 100x

OR

\dfrac{3}{5} \times 100x\\\Rightarrow 60x

Number of pupils that come from Woolpit = 100x - 25x - 60x \Rightarrow 15x

As per given statement:

15x = 102\\\Rightarrow x =6.8

Number of pupils from Elmswell = 25x = 25 \times 6.8 = 170

Number of pupils from Haughley = 60x = 60 \times 6.8 = 408

Total number of pupils at the school = 100x \Rightarrow 100 \times 6.8=680
