At Least One. In Exercises 5鈥12, find the probability.

Wi-Fi Based on a poll conducted through the e-edition of USA Today, 67% of Internet users are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. What is the probability that among four randomly selected Internet users, at least one is more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot? How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability of getting at least one user who is more careful about personal information when using public Wi-Fi hotspot is equal to 0.988.

As the users were not selected at random and responded voluntarily, the results can be greatly affected and might be incorrect.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The probability of selecting a user who is more careful about personal information when using public Wi-Fi hotspot is 0.67.

Four users are selected at random.

02

Define the event for “at least one”

The probability of an event occurring "at least once" is the likelihood of a situation occurring once or more than once.

It is also equal to one minus the chance that the event will not occur at all.

PAhappeningatleastonce=1-PnotA

03

Compute the probability of the event

Let A be the event of selecting a user who is careful about personal information when using public Wi-Fi hotspot.

Then, the complementary event would be selecting a user who is not very careful about personal information when using public Wi-Fi hotspot.

The probability of selecting such a user is given by:

PA=67100=0.67

Thus, P(A) is 0.67.

The probability of selecting a user who is not very careful about personal information when using public Wi-Fi hotspot is equal to:

PA=1-PA=1-0.67=0.33

Thus,PA is equal to 0.33.

Four users are selected at random.

The probability of getting all four users who are not careful about personal information when using public Wi-Fi hotspot is given by:

Pallgood=0.330.330.330.33=0.0119

The probability of getting at least one careful user is one minus the probability of getting no careful user:

Patleast1carefuluser=1-Pnocarefuluser=1-0.0119=0.988

Therefore, the probability of getting at least one who is not careful about personal information when using public Wi-Fi hotspot is equal to 0.988.

04

Discuss the validity of the result

It is known that the data is based on the information collected through the e-edition of USA Today. The users voluntarily responded.

As the users responded voluntarily and were not chosen randomly, the results will be considerably influenced and not 100% correct.

Probability from a Sample Space. In Exercises 33鈥36, use the given sample space or construct the required sample space to find the indicated probability.

Four Children Using the same sample space and assumption from Exercise 35, find the probability that when a couple has four children, all four are of the same gender.

In Exercises 5鈥36, express all probabilities as fractions.

Teed Off When four golfers are about to begin a game, they often toss a tee to randomly select the order in which they tee off. What is the probability that they tee off in alphabetical order by last name?

Acceptance Sampling. With one method of a procedure called acceptance sampling, a sample of items is randomly selected without replacement and the entire batch is accepted if every item in the sample is found to be okay. Exercises 27 and 28 involve acceptance sampling.

Defective Pacemakers Among 8834 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 504 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device (based on data from 鈥淧acemaker and ICD Generator Malfunctions,鈥 by Maisel et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 295, No. 16). If the firmware is tested in three different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of 8834 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?

Sample for a Poll There are 15,524,971 adults in Florida. If The Gallup organization randomly selects 1068 adults without replacement, are the selections independent or dependent? If the selections are dependent, can they be treated as being independent for the purposes of calculations?
