For unemployed persons in the United States, the average number of months of unemployment at the end of December 2009 was approximately seven months (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2010). Suppose the following data are for a particular region in upstate New York. The values in the first column show the number of
months unemployed and the values in the second column show the corresponding number of unemployed persons.

- rounded to two decimal places at each calculationarrow_forwardIn Gallup's Annual Consumption Habits Poll, telephone interviews were conducted for a random sample of 1014 adults aged 18 and over. One of the questions was "How many cups of coffee, if any, do you drink on an average day?" The following table shows the results obtained (Gallup website, August 6, 2012). Excel File: data05-23.xls Number of Cups per Day Number of Responses 0 365 264 193 2 3 4 or more 91 101 Define a random variable x = number of cups of coffee consumed on an average day.

- A psychologist determined that the number of sessions required to obtain the trust of a new patient is either 1, 2, or 3. Let x be a random variable indicating the number of sessions required to gain the patient's trust. The following probability function has been proposed. x f(x) for x = 1, 2, or 3 a.

The Marital Counseling Center, Inc. (MCC) thinks that the high divorce rate in the state may require them to hire additional staff. Working with a consultant, the management of MCC has developed the following probability distribution for x = the number of new clients for marriage counseling for the next year.
