Although interviewers now can reach about 62% of U.S. households, the percentage ofthose contacted who agree to cooperate with the surveyhas fallen from 43% in 1997 to only 14% in 2012 (PewResearch Center for the People and the Press). Eachhousehold, of course, is independent of the others.a) What is the probability that the next householdon the list will be contacted but will refuse tocooperate? b) What was the probability (in 2012) of failing to con-tact a household or of contacting the household but not getting them to agree to the interview?c) Show another way to calculate the probability inpart b.arrow_forward2 questions, first one is (a) and the second one is (b)arrow_forward

On your intense days you run 16 km, on your light days you run 5 km, and on your rest days you do not run. How would you model your miles run per day as a random variable?

Sweet Company is preparing its budget and, taking into consideration purposes, which one of the following techniques should Sweet use? Expected value analysis.

Under favorable weather conditions, the management of Forever Farms expects its rice crop subject to pests has an expected market value of P80,000. If Forever protects the rice against pests, the market value of the crop is still expected to be P120,000 under pest-free conditions and P180,000 if pests are present. What must be the probability of pests for Forever to be indifferent to spending P20,000 for tents to provide pest protection? 0.167 crop to have a P120,000 market value. An…arrow_forward
- Find the expected value for the random variable whose probability function graph is displayed here AP 0.5- 0.4- 0.3- 0.2- 0.1- 0- 1 2 34 5arrow_forwardPlease provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below, I am trying to understand the problem, not just see an answer. Thank you so much. A manufacturing line produces a variety of components, one every 10 minutes. Due to uncertainties in the manufacturing process, components are produced randomly. Specifically, the next produced component is of type A with probability 0.2, of type B with probability 0.15 and of some other type the rest of the time. A particular product consists of three total components, 1 of type A and 2 of type B. A robot is assembling the units of this product one at a time. The robot is located at the end of the production line and collects a required component as soon as it is outputted by the line. If a component is not collected by the robot, because it is not needed for the current assembly, it moves past and is used elsewhere. Once one unit of product is assembled, it is shipped and a new assembly starts. Shipment procedure also…arrow_forward
