Question

According to the book of odds, the probability that a randomly selected US adult usually eats breakfast is 0.61.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) This means that if you were to take a large sample of US adults and inquire them about having breakfast, about 61%(i.e. 0.61) will say that they usually have breakfast.

b) It is, for sure, expected that if we take a sample of 100, around 61% of these americans will say that they usually eat breakfast. But if the number will be 61 exactly is not a certainty and it will vary from sample to sample.

The probability of finding such people will get closer to 0.61 as the sample gets bigger.
