- In recent years research suggests that cell phone usage during social interactions leads to distractions, which undermines the benefits of social interaction. A recent report by greater good magazine reports that a survey shows that 82% of people report that the use of cell phones during a conversation decreases the quality and what they talk about. Assuming the greater good magazine report is accurate, and then a random sample of cell phone users during A recent conversation were sampled. You are interested in the probability that a specific number of the cell phones users would report that the use of cell phones during a conversation decreases the quality of what they talk about.arrow_forwardplease help. thank youarrow_forwardIn Bayesian statistics, a 90% credible interval (or Bayes interval) covers the true parameter with (subjective) probability 90%.
