Question

A cable provider wants to contact customers in a particular telephone exchange to see how satisfied they are with the new digital TV service the company has provided. All numbers are in the 452 exchange, so there are 10,000 possible numbers from 452-0000 to 452-9999. Assume they select the numbers with equal probability. What distribution would they use to model the selection. The new business "incubator was assigned the 500 numbers between 452-2000 and 452-2499, but these new businesses don't subscribe to digital TV What is the probability that the randomly selected number will be for an incubator business? Numbers above 6000 were only released for domestic use last year, so they went to newly constructed residences. What is the probability that a randomly selected number will be one of these? A(n) distribution should be used to model the selection. The probability that the randomly selected number will be for an incubator business is (Round to two decimal places as needed) The probability that a randomly selected number will belong to a newly constructed residence is (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.

Explanation / Answer

a ans ) uniformj distribution should be used

b ans
) 500 numbers are assigned

so pP = 1/ 500 = 0.002

C ANS) NUMBERS ABOVE 6000 are used are

P= 6000/ 10000= 0.6
