contact 76% of randomly selected households drawn for telephone surveys.
Suppose a pollster has a list of 12 calls to make. Let x represent the number of
people successfully contacted.
a. What is p, the probability of success, and q the probability of failure?
b. Find the expected number of successful calls (the mean).
C. Find the standard deviation of the number of successful calls.
d. Find the probability that exactly 9 of the calls are successful.
e. Find the probability that at most 9 calls are successful.
f. Find the probability that at least 9 calls are successful.
g. From the list of 12, the pollster is only successful on 4 calls. Is this result
unusual or very unusual (consider the mean and standard deviation)?
