In a survey of 1147 small-business owners, the following question was posed: Would you recommend working with a significant other? Sixty-three percent of those polled answered in the affirmative, whereas 37% answered in the negative. Assuming that this result reflects the view of all small-business owners, what is the probability that at least 8 out of 10 small-business owners selected at random will opine that it would be unwise to work with the significant other? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Use the data in the following table that shows results from a polygraph (lie detector) conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts and Gordon H. Barland. In each case, it was known if the subjects lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph was correct. If two different subjects are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that they both lied.
In a representative household telephone survey of 2,876 adults, 15% reported that they own at least one gun. Of those that own a gun, 3% own a handgun. Suppose that one of the 2,876 adults surveyed is randomly selected. a. What is the probability that the adult owns at least one gun? b. What is the probability that the adult owns at least one gun and the gun is a handgun? a. The probability that the adult owns at least one gun is (Simplify your answer. Type an integer or a decimal.

A recent study has shown that approximately 31.6% of Canadians are considered 'supertasters,' or people who experience the sense of taste with greater intensity than average. Consider a sample of 23 Canadians, each of whom are asked to indicate if they are a supertaster or not. Please use this information to answer the following questions.a. Suppose you know that at least 7 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters. What is the probability that exactly 15 of the Canadians sampled are supertasters?Answer:______________Round to at least FOUR digits after the decimal if necessary. b. What is the probability that the 10th Canadian sampled is the sixth person to indicate that they are a supertaster?Answer:______________Do NOT round your answer; give all the decimals.
(This is a introduction to statistics course) From past records, a department store finds that 70% of the people who enter the store will make a purchase on Black Friday. Suppose that 3 customers are randomly selected at the store, answer the following questions: 1) What is the chance that exactly one out of three customers make a purchase? Give your answer (%) rounded to one decimal place. (For example, if your answer is 0.5125 (51.25%), then it will be 51.3% after being rounded to one decimal place.) 2) Explain clearly.

In a survey of 1147 small-business owners, the following question was posed: Would you recommend working with a significant other?
