In the July 29, 2001, issue of the Journal News (Hamilton, Ohio), Lynn Elber of theAssociate Press reported that “while 40 percent of American families own a televisionset with a V-chip installed to block designated programs with violence, only 17percent of those patents use the device.
(a) use the report’s results to find an estimate of the probability that a randomlyselected American family has used a V-chip to block programs containing violence.(b) according to the report, more than 50 percent of parents used the TV rating system(TV-14, etc.) to control their children’s TV viewing. How does this compare to thepercentage using the V-chip?
In a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2003 (A-13), a national sample of adults answered the following question, “All in all, do you strongly favor, favor, oppose, or strongly oppose . . . making it legal for doctors to give terminally ill patients the means to end their lives?” The results showed that 43 percent of the sample subjects answered “strongly favor” or “favor” to this question. If 12 subjects represented by this sample are chosen at random, calculate the probability that:
(a) Exactly two of the respondents answer “strongly favor” or “favor”(b) No more than two of the respondents answer “strongly favor” or “favor” (c) Between five and nine inclusive answer “strongly favor” or “favor”
In a study of loons, 200 of a known population of 1200 loons were caught and banded. What is the probability that a random sample of 50 birds from this population will include less than 4 that have been banded? (A: 0.02176)
