Problem 29

Smartphone Shopping According to a USA Today snapshot, a large proportion of American shoppers own smartphones and use them while shopping to take pictures of items \((51 \%),\) to search for coupons \((49 \%)\) or to compare prices among retailers \((43 \%) .^{13}\) Suppose that a random sample of 50 American shoppers is selected and \(x\) is the number who use their phones to search for coupons. Assume that the \(49 \%\) figure is correct. a. What is the average number of shoppers who use their smartphones to search for coupons? b. What is the standard deviation of \(x\) ? c. If you were to observe a value of \(x\) less than or equal to \(15,\) would you consider this to be an unusual occurrence? Explain.
