In a survey on consumer spending methods conducted in a certain year, the following results were obtained: $$ \begin{array}{lccccc} \hline & & \text { Credit } & \text { Debit/ATM } & \\ \text { Payment Method } & \text { Checks } & \text { Cash } & \text { cards } & \text { cards } & \text { Other } \\ \hline \text { Transactions }(\%) & 37 & 14 & 25 & 15 & 9 \\ \hline \end{array} $$ If a transaction tracked in this survey is selected at random, what is the probability that the transaction was paid for: a. With a credit card or with a debit/ATM card? b. With cash or some method other than with a check, a credit card, or a debit/ATM card?

A recent survey found that about 73.2% of all gasoline purchases at a certain service station chain are paid with a credit or debit card. If 250 gasoline purchases completed at this chain are randomly selected, find the probability that at most 195 of those purchases are paid with credit or debit card. Use Excel to find the probability, rounding your answer to four decimal places.

A department store analyzed its most recent sales and determined the relationship between the way a customer paid for an item and the price category of the item. The joint probabilities are given in the table below: Cash Credit Card Debit Card Under 20 Dollars 0.1 0.04 0.05 20-100 Dollars 0.05 0.2 0.2 Over 100 Dollars 0.01 0.26 0.09 A. What proportion of purchases were paid with a debit card? Proportion = B. Find the probability that a credit card purchase was for over 100 dollars. Probability = C. Determine the proportion of purchases made by credit card or debit card. Proportion =

One question from a survey was "How many credit cards do you currently have?" Answer the parts (a) through (d) based on the results of the survey given below. (a) Draw a probability histogram for the random variable X. Choose the correct graph below. (b) Compute the mean and standard deviation number of credit cards from the probability distribution. The mean is credit cards. (Type an integer or a decimal.) The standard deviation is credit cards. (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Determine the probability of randomly selecting an individual whose number of credit cards is more than two standard deviations from the mean. The probability is Click to select your answer(s).
