Question

Computers are commonly used to randomly generate digits of telephone numbers to be called when conducting a survey. Can a nonstandard 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?

Answer 1

Answer:

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
