Question

The television show Ghost Whistler has been successful for many years. That show recently had a share of 21, which means, that among the TV sets in use, 21% were tuned to Ghost Whistler.  An advertiser wants to verify that 21% share value by conducting its own survey, and a pilot survey begins with 11 households have TV sets in use at the time of a Ghost Whistler broadcast.

Find the probability that none of the households are tuned to Ghost Whistler.
P(none) = 

Find the probability that at least one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler.
P(at least one) = 

Find the probability that at most one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler.
P(at most one) = 

If at most one household is tuned to Ghost Whistler, does it appear that the 21% share value is wrong? (Hint: Is the occurrence of at most one household tuned to Ghost Whistler unusual?)

  • yes, it is wrong
  • no, it is not wrong
