Pollsters are concerned about declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys. A pollster contacts 76 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 65 of them respond and 11 refuse to respond. When 281 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 263 respond and 18 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 357 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond.

Answer:

Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond.

357 people.

281 in the 22-29 age bracket + 65 in the 18-21 that agree to respond. So

[tex]p = \frac{281+65}{357} = 0.9692[/tex]

0.9692 = 96.92% probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond.
