Question

In 2013, the Public Religion Research Institute conducted a survey of 1,033 adults, 18 years of age or older, in the continental United States. One of the questions on their survey was as follows:

Answer 1

Probability[Number of people from church] = 0.26 (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of adult in survey = 1,033

Missing information:

Number of people from church = 269

Find:

Probability[Number of people from church]

Computation:

Probability of an event = Number of favourable outcomes / Number of total outcomes

Probability[Number of people from church] = Number of people from church / Total number of adult in survey

Probability[Number of people from church] = 269 / 1,033

Probability[Number of people from church] = 0.2604

Probability[Number of people from church] = 0.26 (Approx.)
