Question

A local newspaper compiles data on the number of days, X, people in a neighborhood receive the newspaper. The probability distribution for the data is shown in the table below. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person receives the newspaper at least one day per week? A probability distribution has number of days on the x-axis and probability on the y-axis. The probability of 0 days is 0. 17; 1 day is 0. 16; 2 days is 0. 14; 3 days is 0; 4 days is 0; 5 days is 0. 12; 6 days is 0; 7 days is 0. 41. 16% 33% 41% 83%.

Answer 1

The probability for a person to receive the newspaper at least one day per week is 83 %. Then the correct option is D.

What is probability?

Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1. Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.

A local newspaper compiles data on the number of days, X, people in a neighborhood receive the newspaper.

The table will be

  X               P(X)

  0               0.17

  1                0.16

  2               0.14

  5               0.12

  7               0.41

We are asked the probability for a person to receive the newspaper at least one day per week. Then the probability will be

Probability = 0.16 + 0.14 + 0.12 + 0.41

Probability = 0.83

Probability = 83 %
