In a poll, respondents were asked whether they had ever been in a car accident. 259 respondents indicated that they had been in

a car accident and 442 respondents said that the had not been in a car accident. If one of these respondents is randomly selected, what is the probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident

Answer:

259 / 701

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

probability of getting someone who has been in a car accident = number of respondents that have been in an accident / total number of respondents

total number of respondents = 259 + 442 = 701

 = 259 / 701

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

0.1091 or 10.91%

Step-by-step explanation:    

We have been given that a particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. suppose that 20% of the incoming calls involve fax messages and consider a sample of 20 calls. We are asked to find the probability that exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message.  

We will use Bernoulli's trials to solve our given problem.

P(X=x)=^nC_x\cdot P^x(1-P)^{n-x}

P(X=6)=^{20}C_6\cdot (0.20)^6(1-0.20)^{20-6}

P(X=6)=\frac{20!}{6!(20-6)!}\cdot (0.20)^6(0.80)^{14}

P(X=6)=\frac{20!}{6!(14)!}\cdot (0.000064)(0.04398046511104)

P(X=6)=38760\cdot (0.000064)(0.04398046511104)

P(X=6)=0.1090997009730

P(X=6)\approx 0.1091\\

Therefore, the probability that exactly 6 of the calls involve a fax message would be approximately 0.1091 or 10.91%.
