QUESTION:

Problem 18E

Telephone Answering DevicesSeventy-eight percent of U.S. homes have a telephone answering device. In a random sample of 250 homes, what is the probability that fewer than 50 do not have a telephone answering device?

ANSWER:

Solution :

Step 1 of 1:

Our goal is:

We need to find the probability that fewer than 50.

Let n denotes the total homes is 250.

Let p denotes United States homes have a telephone is 78%.

So, p = 100%-78%  = 22% or 0.22.

We need to find q value.

q = 1-p

q = 1-0.22

q = 0.78
