- Telephone Marketing A mortgage company advertises its rates by making unsolicited telephone calls to random number. About 2% of the calls reach consumers who are interested in the company’s services. A telephone consultant can make 100 calls per evening shift. What is the probability that two or more calls will reach an interested party in one shift? How many calls does a consultant need to make to ensure at least a 0.5 probability of reaching one or more interested parties? [Hint: Use trial and error.]arrow_forwardPolitical Poll An independent polling organization interviewed 100 college students to determine their political party affiliations and whether they favor a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution. The table lists the results of the study. In the table, D represents Democrat and R represents Republican. Find the probability that a person selected at random from the sample is as described. (a) A person who does not favor the amendment (b) A Republican (c) A Democrat who favors the amendmentarrow_forwardUnemployment In 2015, there were approximately 8.3 million unemployed workers in the United States. The circle graph shows the age profile of these unemployed workers. Ages of Unemployed Workers (a) Estimate the number of unemployed workers in the 16-19 age group. (b) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population of unemployed workers is in the 20-24 age group? (c) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population of unemployed workers is in the 25-54 age group? (d) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population of unemployed workers is 55 or older?arrow_forward
- Snake Eyes What ¡s the probability of rolling snake eyes ("double ones") three times in a row?arrow_forwardProbability Distribution An experiment is described. (a) Complete the table of the probability distribution. (b) Draw a probability histogram. A jar contains five balls numbered 1, three balls numbered 2, one ball numbered 3, and one bait numbered 4. A ball is drawn at random and the number of the ball is observed.arrow_forwardDividing a JackpotA game between two players consists of tossing a coin. Player A gets a point if the coin shows heads, and player B gets a point if it shows tails. The first player to get six points wins an 8,000 jackpot. As it happens, the police raid the place when player A has five points and B has three points. After everyone has calmed down, how should the jackpot be divided between the two players? In other words, what is the probability of A winning and that of B winning if the game were to continue? The French Mathematician Pascal and Fermat corresponded about this problem, and both came to the same correct calculations though by very different reasonings. Their friend Roberval disagreed with both of them. He argued that player A has probability 34 of winning, because the game can end in the four ways H, TH, TTH, TTT and in three of these, A wins. Robervals reasoning was wrong. a Continue the game from the point at which it was interrupted, using either a coin or a modeling program. Perform the experiment 80 or more times, and estimate the probability that player A wins. bCalculate the probability that player A wins. Compare with your estimate from part a.arrow_forward
