Answer:

Without more information about the specific survey and population being surveyed, it is difficult to provide a precise answer to this question. However, I can provide some general information on how probabilities can be calculated in surveys.

Assuming that the survey is a representative sample of college students and that the question about difficulty falling asleep is a binary (yes/no) question, we can calculate the probability of a surveyed college student having a hard time falling asleep on 3 or more days in the last week as follows:

1. Determine the total number of surveyed college students who answered the question about difficulty falling asleep.

2. Determine the number of surveyed college students who reported having a hard time falling asleep on 3 or more days in the last week.

3. Divide the number of surveyed college students who reported having a hard time falling asleep on 3 or more days in the last week by the total number of surveyed college students who answered the question about difficulty falling asleep.

For example, if 1,000 college students were surveyed and 800 of them answered the question about difficulty falling asleep, and 200 of those 800 reported having a hard time falling asleep on 3 or more days in the last week, then the probability of a surveyed college student having a hard time falling asleep on 3 or more days in the last week would be 200/800, or 0.25, or 25%.
