A sociologist wants to know the opinions of employed adult women about government funding for day care. The women were asked to rate the
government support on a scale of 1 to 5, with a score of 1 representing the least support and a score of 5 representing the highest support. The
probability distribution chart is given.
Rating
Probablity
1 too little 2 helpful but not enough 3 make a difference but insufficent 4 sufficent 5 generous
0.110
0.206
0.464
0.201 0.119
What percentage of women think that the support is sufficient?
A. 0.22
О В.
1.9
OC 20.1
OD
22.0
E.
68.4

The correct option is C 20.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution chart representing the opinions of employed adult women about government funding for day care is as follows:

Rating (X)        Probability (p)

     1                      0.110

     2                      0.206

     3                      0.464

     4                      0.201

     5                      0.119

The ratings are defined as follows:

1: too little

2: helpful but not enough

3: make a difference but insufficient

4: sufficient

5: generous

The probability of women who think that the support is sufficient is, 0.201.

The percentage is: 0.201 × 100 = 20.1%

Thus, the percentage of women who think that the support is sufficient is 20.1%.

The correct option is C.
