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

Phone Survey Subjects for the next presidential election poll are contacted using telephone numbers in which the last four digits are randomly selected (with replacement). Find the probability that for one such phone number, the last four digits include at least one 0

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that at least one of the last four digits is 0 is equal to 0.344.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Four digits are randomly selected with replacement.

02

Probability of “at least” one

The event defined byat least one occurrence of a specific outcome is complementary to the event that no such outcome appears.

Mathematically,

PoccurrenceofAatleastonce=1-PoccurrenceofnotA

03

Compute the probability of getting at least one zero

Let A be the event of selecting zero from digits 0 to 9.

The complement of event A will be selecting any digit other than zero.

The total number of digits is 10.

PA=110=0.1

Thus, is 0.1.

The probability of the complementary event is computed as follows:

PA=1-PA=1-0.1=0.9

Thus, is equal to 0.9.

In a four-digit set of numbers selected at random, the probability that at least one zero occurs is computed as follows.

The probability of selecting a digit other than zero out of the four digits is given by:

Pnotselecting0=0.90.90.90.9=0.656

The probability of having at least one zero is equal to one minus the probability of having no zeros:

Patleastone0=1-Pnot selecting0=1-0.656=0.344

Therefore, the probability of having at least one zero is equal to 0.344.

The results are summarized in the table (based on data from 鈥淭he Denomination Effect,鈥 by Priya Raghubir and Joydeep Srivastava, Journal of Consumer Research, Vol. 36).

Surge Protectors Refer to the accompanying figure showing surge protectors p and q used to protect an expensive television. If there is a surge in the voltage, the surge protector reduces it to a safe level. Assume that each surge protector has a 0.985 probability of working correctly when a voltage surge occurs.

a. If the two surge protectors are arranged in series, what is the probability that a voltage surge will not damage the television? (Do not round the answer.)

b. If the two surge protectors are arranged in parallel, what is the probability that a voltage surge will not damage the television? (Do not round the answer.)

c. Which arrangement should be used for better protection?

In Exercises 13鈥20, express the indicated degree of likelihood as a probability value between 0 and 1.
