Question

a company is conducting a survey to determine how prepared people are for a long - term power outage, natural disaster, or terrorist attack. the frequency distribution on the right shows the results. use the table to answer the following question.
what is the probability that the next person surveyed is very prepared?
the probability the next person surveyed is very prepared is
(round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of people surveyed

Add up all the frequencies: \(264 + 991+593 + 338+41\)

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Step2: Calculate the probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Frequency of very prepared}}{\text{Total frequency}}\)
\(P=\frac{264}{2227}\approx 0.118\)

Answer:

\(0.118\)
