Based on a poll, 6767% of Internet users are more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot. What is the probability that among four randomly selected Internet users, at least one is more careful about personal information when using a public Wi-Fi hotspot? How is the result affected by the additional information that the survey subjects volunteered to respond?
What is the probability that at least one of them is careful about personal information is? (Round answer to nearest 3 decimal place if needed)
X ~ Bin ( n , p)
Where n = 4 , p = 0.67
Binomial probability distribution is
P(X) = nCx * px * ( 1 - p)n-x
P(X >= 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)
= 1 - 4C0 * 0.670 * ( 1 - 0.67)4
= 0.988
With the additional information, it is possible that the result is not valid because sample may not be
representative of the people who use public Wi-Fi
