Computers are commonly used to randomly generate digits of telephone numbers to be called when conducting a survey. Can a nonsta
ndard normal distribution be used to find the probability that when one digit is randomly generated, it is less than 3? Why or why not? What is the probability of getting a digit less than 3?
No because randomly generated digits have a uniform distribution and probability is 0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
A non-standard normal distribution cannot be used to find the probability because the generated digits do not follow a normal distribution hence each number is equally likely to be chosen
total digits: 0 to 9=10
Digits less than 3 are: 0,1,2
Therefore, No. of digits less than 3=3
Probability of getting a digit less than 3 = 3/10 = 0.3
