Question
Based on a poll, 60% of Internet users are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. What is the
The probability that at least one of them is careful about personal information is _______________________________
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond?
The result should not be impacted by this because volunteers are likely to have the most relevant responses.
It is very possible that the result is not valid because not everyone uses public Wi-Fi.
It is very possible that the result is not valid because the sample may not be representative of the people who use public Wi-Fi.
The result should not be impacted by this because there is no reason to lie when responding.

- A study showed that in 1990, 47% of all those involved in a fatal car crash wore seat belts. Of those in a fatal crash who wore seat belts, 46% were injured and 26% were killed. For those not wearing seat belts, the comparable figures were 43% and 51%, respectively. Find the probability that a randomly selected person who was unharmed in a fatal crash was not wearing a seat belt.arrow_forwardUse the data in the following table that shows results from a polygraph (lie detector) conducted by researchers Charles R. Honts and Gordon H. Barland. In each case, it was known if the subjects lied or did not lie, so the table indicates when the polygraph was correct. If two different subjects are randomly selected without replacement, find the probability that they both lied.arrow_forwardIn a survey of consumers aged 12 and older, respondents were asked how many cell phones were in use by the household. (No two respondents were from the same household.) Among the respondents, 211answered "none,"289 said "one," 373 said "two," 143 said "three," and 138 responded with four or more. A survey respondent is selected at random. Find the probability that his/her household has four or more cell phones in use. Is it unlikely for a household to have four or more cell phones in use? Consider an event to be unlikely if its probability is less than or equal to 0.05.arrow_forward
- Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?arrow_forwardBased on data from AMSC Online Instruction project, 77% of adult learners use social network sites.
