A recent survey of 1070 U.S. adults selected at random showed that 643 consider the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Estimate the probability (to the nearest hundredth) that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige.
Homework Answers
Given information,
Total no. of adults surveyed , N= 1070 and
Number of adults who consider the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige, X = 643
Probability that a U.S. adults selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige is
P(great prestige) = X/N
= 643/1070
=0.6009
= 0.60 (Rounded off to the nearest hundredth)
Probability that a U.S. adults selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige is 0.60

(4) According to a survey conducted by Harrah's Home Testing Institute, adults from 50% of U.S. households have gambled in a casino at some time in their life (American Demographics, October 1993). Assume that this percentage is true for the current population of adults from all U.S. households. A random sample of 400 U.S. households is selected.

A random sample of adult drivers was obtained, 53% men and 46% women. A survey showed that 57% of the drivers rely on GPS systems. 32% of the drivers are men and use GPS while 24% of the drivers are women and use GPS. Suppose a person included in this survey is randomly selected. a.) Suppose the person selected is a man. What is the probability that he relies on a GPS system? Your answer should have at least 3...

A Gallup poll of 1,236 adults showed that 12% of the respondents believe that it is bad luck to walk under a ladder. Suppose 30 people are selected at random from among the 1,236 were polled, and further suppose we want to calculate the probability that at least 2 of the 30 believe it is bad luck to walk under a ladder. Given that the 30 subjects were selected without replacement, those selections are not independent. Can the probability be...
