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?

Answer 1

Probability that a Satellite Company Y watches a recorded show
= Py(recorded)
= 94/159
= 0.59119
= 59.12%
≈ 59% (Rounded to the nearest percent)................ANS

Answer 2

Answer: 59%

Explanation:

From the given table, the number of customer from Satellite Company Y spend more time watching shows that have been recorded =94

The total number of customers from Satellite Company Y =
`65+94=154`

Now, the probability that a randomly selected customer from Satellite Company Y watches recorded shows more often than live television =
`(94)/(159)`

In percent,
`(94)/(159)*100=59.1194968553\%\approx59\%`
