uppose that you live in a community that has 1,250 households. Among these households, 500 have traditional landline telephones while the remaining 750 only use cellular and / or VOIP telephones. We are going to select 100 households from your community at random without replacement. The first household selected does not have a traditional landline telephone. What is the probability that the second household selected will have a traditional landline telephone

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4003 = 40.03% probability that the second household selected will have a traditional landline telephone.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The first household selected does not have a traditional landline telephone.

This means that of 1250-1 = 1249 households, 500 have traditional landline telephones.

What is the probability that the second household selected will have a traditional landline telephone

500/1249 = 0.4003

0.4003 = 40.03% probability that the second household selected will have a traditional landline telephone.
