Inverse Normal Distribution

The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

Mean, Median, Mode

It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Z-Scores

A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Textbook Question

Chapter 9.3, Problem 33ES

Nielsen Ratings Nielsen Media Research surveys television viewers to determine the numbers of people watching particular shows. They estimated that for the $2015$ - $2016$ television season, there were an estimated $113.3$ million U.S. households with televisions. Each rating point represents $1 %$ of that number, or $1 , 133 , 000$ . Therefore, for instance, if $60$

Minutes received a rating of $5.8$ , then $5.8 %$ of all U.S. households with televisions, or $( 0.058 ) ( 113,300 , 000 ) = 6 , 571,4 00$ households, were tuned to that program. A rating point does not mean that $1,133 , 000$ people are watching a program. A rating point refers to the number of households with television sets tuned to that program: there may be more than one person watching a television set in the household.

Nielsen Media Research also describes a program’s share of the market. Share is the percent of households with television sets in use that are tuned to a program. Suppose that the same week that $60$ Minutes received $5.8$ rating points, the show received a share of $11 %$ . This would mean that $11 %$ of all households with a television turned on were tuned to $60$

Minutes, whereas $5.8 %$ of all households with a television were tuned to the program.

a. If $N C I S$ received a Nielsen rating of $10.1$ and a share of $17$ . how many TV households watched the program that week? How many TV households were watching television during that hour? Round to the nearest hundred thousand.

b. Suppose that The Big Bang Theory received a rating of $5.6$ and a share of $11$ . How many TV house holds watched the program that week? How many TV households were watching television during that hour? Round lo the nearest hundred thousand.

Suppose that Modern Family received a rating of $7.5$ during a week in which $19,381, 000$ people were watching the show. Find the average number of people per TV household who watched the program. Round to the nearest tenth.
