Question

the cable company is analyzing the data from two satellite television providers to determine whether their users spend more time watching live television or shows that have been recorded. satellite company x: 89 live, 430 recorded satellite company y: 65 live, 94 recorded to the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly selected customer from satellite company y watches recorded shows more often than live television? 41% 59% 77% 83%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total customers of Satellite Company Y

Total customers = Live + Recorded = \(65 + 94=159\)

Step2: Calculate probability of customer watching recorded shows

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Recorded}}{\text{Total}}\)
\(P = \frac{94}{159}\approx0.5912\)

Step3: Convert to percentage

\(0.5912\times100\% = 59.12\%\approx59\%\)

Answer:

59%
