In a survey of 1436 people, 1099 people said they voted in a recent presidential election. Voting records show that74% of eligible voters actually did vote. Given that 74% of eligible voters actually did vote, (a) find the probability thatamong 1436 randomly selected voters, at least 1099 actually did vote. (b) What do the results from part (a) suggest?(a) P(X≥ 1099) =(Round to four decimal places as needed.)

Solution-:Given: n=1436, p=0.74 (or 74%)We want to find,(a) (b) What do the results from part (a)…

In a survey of consumers aged 12 and older, respondents were asked how many cell phones were in use by the household. (No two respondents were from the same household.) Among the respondents, 211answered "none,"289 said "one," 373 said "two," 143 said "three," and 138 responded with four or more. A survey respondent is selected at random. Find the probability that his/her household has four or more cell phones in use. Is it unlikely for a household to have four or more cell phones in use? Consider an event to be unlikely if its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.
