5) A survey of 600 random people finds that 28% of them have never ridden a train. • What is the probability that a randomly selected person has never ridden a train? • Is this probability classical or empirical? • If you select 100 random people, about how many of them would you expect to have never ridden a train? (round to a whole number if needed)

Find the probabilities and indicate when the “5% guideline for cumbersome calculations” is used. Among respondents asked which is their favorite seat on a plane, 492 chose the window seat, 8 chose the middle seat, and 306 chose the aisle seat (based on data from USA Today). a. What is the probability of randomly selecting 1 of the surveyed people and getting one who did not choose the middle seat? b. If 2 of the surveyed people are randomly selected without replacement, what is the probability that neither of them chose the middle seat? c. If 25 different surveyed people are randomly selected without replacement, what is the probability that none of them chose the middle seat?

Probability
Multiplication Rule: Basics
In each of the following cases, indicate whether classical, empirical, or subjective probability is used. a. A baseball player gets a hit in 28 out of 86 times at bat. The probability is 0.33 that he gets a hit in his next at bat. Empirical Subjective Classical b. A seven-member committee of students is formed to study environmental issues. What is the likelihood that any one of the five is randomly chosen as the spokesperson? Empirical Subjective Classical c. You purchase a ticket for the Lotto Canada lottery. Over eight million tickets were sold. What is the likelihood you will win the $1 million jackpot? Empirical Subjective Classical
