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.

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.
