In a large city, 70% of people own a cell phone. A sociologist wishes to study the impact cell phones have on society. To get started, the sociologist randomly samples 45 people in the city. Use a calculator to find the probability that of those 45 people sampled, between 33 and 36 of them own a cell phone

Respuesta :

The probability that of those 45 people sampled, between 33 and 36 of them own a cell phone is 0.2413

How to solve for the probability

We have to solve for the  probability that of those 45 people sampled, between 33 and 36 of them own a cell phone

The standard deviation is given as

[tex]s = \sqrt{} \frac{P(1-p)}{n}[/tex]

where we have p = proportion = 70% = 0.7

q = 1 - p

= 1 - 0.7

= 30 % = 0.3

s = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7}{45} }[/tex]

= 0.07

we are to find the interval of

P(33 ≤ x ≤ 36)

this would be written as

(33 / 45 - 0.70) / 0.07 < z < (36 / 45 - 0.70) / 0.07)

p(0.49 < z < 1.46)

we have to find the critical values of p(z < 0.49) and p(z < 1.46)

= 0.9284 - 0.68721

= 0.2413
