Chapter 4, Problem 100P

A study was performed to assess the feasibility of a national random digit dialing cellular phone survey among young adults age 18–34 (Genderson et al., [17]). It was reported that 3.1% of respondents were eligible to participate and that 52% of eligible respondents agreed to participate.

Suppose 1000 potential participants are contacted to participate in the survey. What is the probability that at least 10 of the 1000 participants will be eligible and agree to participate?

Hint: Use a computer program to answer this question.
