Among US Households, only 15% have a landline phone. A telemarketing campaign will involve a SRS of 2250 households. Let X be the number of households that have a landline phone among the 2250 households randomly chosen. Assuming X is approximately normal, find P(X>300). Round to 4 decimal places. Note: The answer can easily be obtained using the normal distribution excel spreadsheet. Refer back to answers to parts a) and b).
Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
