Satellite Company X : 89 live, 430 recorded Satellite Company Y : 65 live, 94 recorded What is the probability that a randomly selected customer from Company Y watches recorded shows more often than live television?

Explanation:

I got 100%

Answer 2

59%

Explanation:

The information from Satellite Company Y is:

65 people watch live and 94 people watch recorded.

The total number of people from Y is:

65 + 94 = 159

So the probability that a random person from Y watches recorded shows more often is given by the division of the number of people watching more recorded shows (94) over the total number of people (159):

Probability = 94 / 159 = 0.5912 = 59.12%

Rounding to nearest whole percent, we have 59%
