- A recent survey of 1040 U.S. adults selected at random showed that 634 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.Step 1Recall that the probability of an event based on relative frequency uses the formulaprobability of event = relative frequency = fn,where f is the frequency of the event occurrence in a sample of n observations. A total of 1040 people were surveyed and 634 considered the occupation of firefighter to have very great prestige. Therefore, the sample size is n = . The event of interest is that a U.S. adult selected at random thinks the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige. Therefore, the frequency f is equal to the number of adults who the occupation of firefighter has very great prestige, so f = (0.6096 answer is incorrect.) .arrow_forwardA certain type of cancer is known to exist in 2 percent of the population of the males in their fifties.
