Answer:

the probability the person's reaction time will be between 0.9 and 1.1 seconds is 0.0378

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the cumulative distribution function F(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{(x + 1)^3} ; x > \theta

probability the person's reaction time will be between 0.9 and 1.1 seconds

P( 0.9 < x < 1.1 ) = P( x ≤ 1.1 ) - P( x ≤ 0.9 )

P( 0.9 < x < 1.1 ) = F(1.1) - F(0.9)

= [ 1 - \frac{1}{(x + 1)^3}  ] - [1 - \frac{1}{(x + 1)^3} ]

we substitute

= [ 1 - \frac{1}{(1.1 + 1)^3}  ] - [1 - \frac{1}{(0.9 + 1)^3} ]

= [ 1 - \frac{1}{(2.1)^3}  ] - [1 - \frac{1}{(1.9)^3} ]

= [ 1 - \frac{1}{(9.261)}  ] - [1 - \frac{1}{(6.859)} ]

= [ 1 - 0.1079796998 ] - [ 1 - 0.1457938 ]

= 0.8920203 - 0.8542062

= 0.0378

Therefore, the probability the person's reaction time will be between 0.9 and 1.1 seconds is 0.0378

Remember that the difference between census and a sample survey is that in a census you take all the people of population in consideration in the study, and in the sample survey you take a part of that population in consideration to survey.

SO here if you check the problem it says that "in a recent poll, Pew reserchers found that 47% OF AMERICAN ADULT RESPONDENTS"

that is the population of the study that you want to focus, but there are a billion of american adult in US right? so its impossible that this company Pow Research made a census if you consider that a billion of people in US is almost infinite number for a company with a finite number of employees.

Also remember that a company has a budget to consider every month or every year, so to make a census or a sample survey it takes time and money, just to survey 10 people in a streeth of US cost money so if you want to reduce cost you might need to do a sample survey instead of a census.
