Junior Achievement USA and the Allstate Foundation surveyed teenagers aged 14 to 18 and asked at what age they think they will become financially independent. The responses of 944 teenagers who answered this survey question as follows: Age Financially Independent Number of Responses
16 to 20 151
21 to 24 487
25 to 27 244
28 or older 62

Consider the experiment of randomly selecting a teenager from the population of teenagers aged to 14 to 18.

Required:
a. Compute the probability of being financially independent for each of the four age categories.
b. What is the probability of being financially independent before the age of 25?
c. What is the probability of being financially independent after the age of 24?

(a) Shown below

(b) 0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency distribution is:

Age Group Financially Independent Number of Responses

16 to 20 151

21 to 24 487

25 to 27 244

28 or older 62

Total 944

(a)

Compute the probability of being financially independent for each of the four age categories as follows:

$P(\text{16 to 20})=\frac{151}{944}=0.159958\approx 0.16\\\\P(\text{21 to 24})=\frac{487}{944}=0.515890\approx 0.52\\\\P(\text{25 to 27})=\frac{244}{944}=0.258475\approx 0.26\\\\P(\text{28 or older})=\frac{62}{944}=0.065678\approx 0.06$

(b)

Compute the probability of being financially independent before the age of 25 as follows:

P (Financially Independent before 25) = P (16 to 20) + P (21 to 24)

= 0.16 + 0.52

= 0.68

Thus, the probability of being financially independent before the age of 25 is 0.68

(c)

Compute the probability of being financially independent after the age of 24 as follows:

P (Financially Independent after 24) = P (25 to 27) + P (28 or older)

= 0.26 + 0.06

= 0.32

Thus, the probability of being financially independent after the age of 24 is 0.32.

In a test for esp (extrasensory perception), the experimenter looks at cards that are hidden from the subject. each card contains either a star, a circle, a wave, a cross or a square.(five shapes) as the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. when the esp study described above discovers a subject whose performance appears to be better than guessing, the study continues at greater length. the experimenter looks at many cards bearing one of five shapes (star, square, circle, wave, and cross) in an order determined by random numbers. the subject cannot see the experimenter as he looks at each card in turn, in order to avoid any possible nonverbal clues. the answers of a subject who does not have esp should be independent observations, each with probability 1/5 of success. we record 1000 attempts. which of the following assumptions must be met in order to solve this problem? it's reasonable to assume normality 0.8(1000), 0.2(1000)%30 approximately normal 0.8(1000), 0.2(1000)% 10 approximately normal srs it is reasonable to assume the total number of cards is over 10,000 it is reasonable to assume the total number of cards is over 1000
