- In 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).

The different types of malfunctions occur at about the same frequency. Develop a probability distribution for the duration of a service call. Duration of Call x f(x) 1 2 3 4 Which of the following probability distribution graphs accurately represents the data set? Consider the required conditions for a discrete probability function, shown below.Does this probability distribution satisfy equation (5.1)?Does this probability distribution satisfy equation (5.2)? What is the probability a service call will take three hours? A service call has just come in, but the type of malfunction is unknown. It is 3:00 P.M. and service technicians usually get off at 5:00 P.M. What is the probability the service technician will have to work overtime to fix the machine today?arrow_forwardA 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. Consider the required conditions for a discrete probability function, shown below. f(x) ≥0 Σf(x) = 1 (5.1) (5.2) Does this probability distribution satisfy equation (5.1)? Select Does this probability distribution satisfy equation (5.2)? Select b. What is the probability that it takes exactly 2 sessions to gain the patient's trust (to 3 decimals)? c. What is the probability that it takes at least 2 sessions to gain the patient's trust (to 3 decimals)?arrow_forward
