Question

Based on a​ survey, when 1009 consumers were asked if they are comfortable with drones delivering their​ purchases, 42% said yes. The probability of randomly selecting 30 of the 1009 consumers and getting exactly 24 who are comfortable with the drones is represented as 0plus. What does 0plus ​indicate? Does 0plus indicate that it is impossible to get exactly 24 consumers who are comfortable with​ drones?

Answer 1

0+ indicate that the probability of the persons comfortable with the drones is not exactly equal to 0, but it can be closer to zero.

The 0+ indicate that it is not impossible to get exactly 24 consumers who are comfortable with ​drones.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

he probability of randomly selecting 30 of the 1009 consumers and getting exactly 24 who are comfortable with the drones is represented as 0+.

If the probability of an event is zero that means such event is impossible event.

Here, 0+ means that the probability of the persons comfortable with the drones is not exactly equal to 0, but it can be closer to zero.

The probability 0+ indicates that the probability is a very small positive value. It indicates that the event is​ possible, but very unlikely.

Therefore, 0+ is the probability that, it may be possible to get exactly 24 consumers who are comfortable with​ drones.
