Question

probability distributions
guided practice
type your answer and then click or tap done.
during another simulation, the random number 76 is generated. refer to the table. how many customers are associated with this number?
the table has columns: event, probability, cumulative probability, assigned numbers.
event: 0, probability: 0.05, cumulative probability: 0.05, assigned numbers: 01 - 05
event: 1, probability: 0.15, cumulative probability: 0.20, assigned numbers: 06 - 20
event: 2, probability: 0.25, cumulative probability: 0.45, assigned numbers: 21 - 45
event: 3, probability: 0.30, cumulative probability: 0.75, assigned numbers: 46 - 75
event: 4, probability: 0.20, cumulative probability: 0.95, assigned numbers: 76 - 95
event: 5, probability: 0.05, cumulative probability: 1.00, assigned numbers: 96 - 100

Explanation:

Step1: Locate random number range

Find which assigned numbers include 76.

Step2: Match to corresponding event

The range 76-95 maps to Event 4.

Answer:

4
