making frienDs In a survey of 2541 adults aged 18 years and older, 64% of respondents claimed that it was easier to make friends in person, whereas 36% thought that it was easier to do so through social-networking sites. Assuming that these results apply to the entire adult population, what is the probability that at most 3 out of 6 adults chosen at random hold the opinion that it is easier to make friends through social-networking sites?

A study showed that in 1990, 47% of all those involved in a fatal car crash wore seat belts. Of those in a fatal crash who wore seat belts, 46% were injured and 26% were killed. For those not wearing seat belts, the comparable figures were 43% and 51%, respectively. Find the probability that a randomly selected person who was unharmed in a fatal crash was not wearing a seat belt.

Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?

If the 51% rate is correct, find the probability of getting 110 or fewer smartphone owners who use them in theaters. b. Is the result of 110 significantly low? a. If the 51% rate is correct, the probability of getting 110 or fewer smartphone owners who use them in theaters is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b.
