- A recent survey showed that 94 adults out of a sample of 500 have high blood pressure. However, 108 of those studied reported being unwilling to change their diet. Based on this sample, if an adult is chosen at random, what is the probability that he or she is open to trying to eat more healthfully? Express your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth.arrow_forwardIn a 2018 study, it was determined that 14% of Americans smoke. In a separate study, it was determined 9% of smokers die of lung cancer, and 1% of non-smokers die of lung cancer. Assuming these values hold true today, find the following: d. If a person died of lung cancer, what is the probability they were a smoker?arrow_forwardGabrielle has purchased the 2-year extended warranty from a retailer to cover the value of hers new cellphone in case if it gets damaged or becomes inoperable for the price of $25. Gabrielle's cellphone is worth $1400 and the probability that it gets damaged or becomes inoperable during the length of the extended warranty is estimated to be 4%. Let XX be the retailer's profit from selling the extended warranty. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) the cellphone gets damaged or becomes inoperable no claim filed 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.) SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars.

- According to a survey, 26.6% of credit-card-holding families in a certain area hardly ever pay off the balance. Suppose a random sample of 29 credit-card-holding families is taken. Find the probability that at least 4 families hardly ever pay off the balance.arrow_forwardIt is known from past eperience that the probability that a person has cancer is 0.15 and the probability that a person has heart disease is 0.2. If we assume that incidence of cancer and heart disease are independent, find the probability that a person has exactly one ailment.arrow_forwardIf a 60 year-old buys a $1000 life insurance policy at a cost of $70 and has a probability of 0.921 of living to age 61, find the expectation of the policy until the person reaches 61.

Assuming these figures are current, what is the probability that a skier will die in a skiing accident in a given year? (Round your answer to eight decimal places.)arrow_forwardThe reported cancer rates for men ages 65 and older is 23%. Assume this estimate is the true population proportion of men ages 65 and older who have been diagnosed with some form of cancer. A SRS of 25 men ages 65 and older is taken. Calculate the probability that proportion of men ages 65 and older who have been diagnosed with some form of cancer is more than 0.30.

- 2: Suppose that a hotel owner estimates the probability that a customer bookinga hotel room pays in advance (C1) is 0.35 and their probability of paying after check-out (C2) is 0.65. The hotel is fully booked for one weekend by a golfers’ convention. Market research suggests that 55% of payments in advance and 35% of payments at check-out are by sports club members. Calculate the probability that those attending the golf convention will pay in advance, by also briefly discussing the main feature of the theoretical aspects behind the probability calculationadopted.arrow_forwardSuppose a person is looking for a one-year life insurance policy. They decide on a $232994 policy. This policy costs $291 per year. Suppose the probability the person dies in the year is 0.0006. Find the expected value of the policy for the insurance company. Give your answer as a decimal to at least two decimal places.arrow_forwardIn a certain study, the chance of encountering a car crash on the road is stated as 20%.
