Question

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) allows consumers to put themselves on a do-not-call registry. If a number is on the registry, commercial telemarketers are not allowed to call you. Do you believe this has affected the ability of surveyors to obtain accurate polling results? If so, how?

unlisted-numbers-a-telemarketing-firm-in-a-large-city-uses-a-device-that-dials-residential-telephone

Unlisted numbers A telemarketing firm in a large city uses a device that dials residential telephone numbers in that city at random. Of the first 100 numbers dialed, $48 \%$ are unlisted. This is not surprising because $52 \%$ of all residential phones in the city are unlisted.

Sampling Distributions

What Is a Sampling Distribution?
you-mail-a-mobile-phone-call-blocking-services-company-reported-there-were-43-billion-robocalls-in-the-united-states-during-october-202043-billion-robocalls-in-one-month-is-a-difficult-numbe-51889

YouMail, a mobile phone call-blocking services company, reported that there were 4.3 billion robocalls in the United States during October 2020. 4.3 billion robocalls in one month is a difficult number for most people to grasp. Convert the 4.3 billion robocalls per month into a number and time frame that is smaller and more understandable. Maybe that's calls per day, or calls per hour, or calls per minute. Do the calculations, choose one, and explain why you think it is the best choice. Given what you know about the population of the US and the number of robocalls you and people you know receive, discuss if you think the number of robocalls reported in the article is too small, too large, or just right.
