A consumer advocate claims that 75 percent of cable television
subscribers are not satisfied with their cable service. In an
attempt to justify this claim, a randomly selected sample of cable
subscribers will be polled on this issue.
(a) Suppose that the advocate's claim is true, and suppose that a random sample of 5 cable subscribers is selected. Assuming independence, use an appropriate formula to compute the probability that 4 or more subscribers in the sample are not satisfied with their service. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round final answer to p in 2 decimal place. Round other final answers to 4 decimal places.)

Suppose you play a coin toss game in which you win $1 if a head appears and lose $1 if a tail appears. In the first 100 coin tosses, heads comes up 34 times and tails comes up 66 times. Answer parts (a) through (d) below. a. What percentage of times has heads come up in the first 100 tosses? 34% What is your net gain or loss at this point? Select the correct choice and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. You have lost $ 32. (Type an integer.) B. You have gained $ nothing. (Type an integer.) b. Suppose you toss the coin 200 more times (a total of 300 tosses), and at that point heads has come up 37% of the time. Is this change in the percentage of heads consistent with the law of large numbers? Explain. A. The change is consistent with the law of large numbers because, as the number of trials increases, the proportion should grow closer to 50%. B. The change is consistent with the law of large numbers. Because the percentage is low the first 100 trials, it has to be higher the next 200 trials to even out. C. The change is not consistent with the law of large numbers because, as the number of trials increases, the proportion should grow closer to 50%. D. The change is not consistent with the law of large numbers, because the trials are not independent. What is your net gain or loss at this point? Select the correct choice and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. You have gained $ nothing. (Type an integer.) B. You have lost $ nothing. (Type an integer.) c. How many heads would you need in the next 100 tosses in order to break even after 400 tosses? Is this likely to occur? Select the correct choice and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. You would need to toss nothing heads. This is likely because so few heads have been tossed so far. B. You would need to toss nothing heads. This is unlikely as it is far from the expected number of heads. C. You would need to toss nothing heads. This is likely because it is close to the expected number of heads. d. Suppose that, still behind after 400 tosses, you decide to keep playing because you are due for a winning streak. Explain how this belief would illustrate the gambler's fallacy. A. This illustrates the gambler's fallacy because eventually there will be a winning streak. B. This illustrates the gambler's fallacy because, due to the law of large numbers, the probability of getting heads must now be more than 0.5. C. This illustrates the gambler's fallacy because the number of heads cannot be under 50% all the time. D. This illustrates the gambler's fallacy because the probability of getting heads is always 0.5.
