Black Cars Use subjective probability to estimate the probability of randomly selecting a car and getting one that is black.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The estimated probability value that the randomly selected car is black is between 0.10 and 0.30.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is required to estimate the probability of randomly selecting a black car.

02

Subjective probability 

Subjective probability refers to estimating the probability value of an event using past knowledge. It is purely based on one鈥檚 opinion and is not obtained from any experimental/actual data.

The probability value estimated using subjective judgement can vary from person to person.

Now, the event considered is the selection of a black car.

Based on the available information, approximately 19% of the cars in North America are black.

It can be said that out of 100 cars, the colour of approximately between 10 to 30 cars is likely to be black.

Therefore, the estimated probability value that the randomly selected car will be black should be between 0.10 and 0.30.

LOL A U.S. Cellular survey of smartphone users showed that 26% of respondents answered 鈥測es鈥 when asked if abbreviations (such as LOL) are annoying when texting. What is the probability of randomly selecting a smartphone user and getting a response other than 鈥測es鈥?

Composite Water Samples The Fairfield County Department of Public Health tests water for the presence of E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria. To reduce laboratory costs, water samples from 10 public swimming areas are combined for one test, and further testing is done only if the combined sample tests positive. Based on past results, there is a 0.005 probability of finding E. coli bacteria in a public swimming area. Find the probability that a combined sample from 10 public swimming areas will reveal the presence of E. coli bacteria. Is that probability low enough so that further testing of the individual samples is rarely necessary?

In Exercises 25鈥32, find the probability and answer the questions. Social Networking In a Pew Research Center survey of Internet users, 3732 respondents say that they use social networking sites and 1380 respondents say that they do not use social networking sites. What is the probability that a randomly selected person does not use a social networking site? Does that result suggest that it is unlikely for someone to not use social networking sites
