    a: Discrete ‘Noo! Hendrickson DigitalVision/Getty Images Distributions LEARNING OBJECTIVES The overall learning objective of Chapter 5 is to help you understand a category of probability distributions that produces only discrete outcomes, thereby enabling you to: 1. Define a random variable in order to differentiate between a discrete distribution and a continuous distribution 2. Determine the mean, variance, and standard deviation of a discrete distribution 3. Solve problems involving the binomial distribution using the binomial formula and the binomial table 4, Solve problems involving the Poisson distribution using the Poisson formula and the Poisson table 5, Solve problems involving the hypergeometric distribution using the hypergeometric formula Oey “— As early as 1947, scientists under- stood the basic concept of a cell phone as a type of two-way radio. Seeing the poten- tial of ceude mobile car phones, researchers under” stood that by using a small range of service areas (ces) with fequency reuse, they «could increase the capacity for mobile phone usage sigeificantly ‘even though the technology was not then available. During that same year, ATSXT proposed the allocation of a large number of radio-spectrum frequencies by the FCC that would thereby make widespread mobile phone service feasible. At the same time, the FCC decided to limit the amount of frequency capac- ity available such that only 23 phone conversations could take place simutaneously In 1968, the FCC reconsidered is postion and freed the airwaves for more phones. About this time, ATS and Ball Labs proposed to the FCC.a system in which they would construc a series of many small, low-powered broadcast towers, «each of which would broadcast to a “cell” covering a few miles. “Taken as a whole, such “cells” could be used to pass phone calls from cel to cel, thereby reaching a lage area ‘The frst company to actually produce a cell phone was Motorola, and Dr. Martin Cooper, then of Motorola and considered the inventor ofthe fist modern portable hand- set, made his first call on the portable cell phone in 1973, By 1977, AT&T and Bell Labs had developed a proto- type cellular phone system that was tested in Chicago by 2,000 trial cus- tomers. After the frst commercial cell phone system began operation in Japan in 1979, and Motorola and American Radio developed a second US. cell system in 1981, the FCC authorized commerical cellular service in the United States in 1982. By 1987, cell phone subscribers had exceeded 1 million customers in the United States, and as frequencies were ge crowded, the FCC authorized alterna- tive cellular technologies, opening up new opportunities for development. Since that time, researchers have devel- oped a number of advances that have increased capacity exponentially bears ul) Life with a Cell Phone ‘Today in the United States, over 14% of cell phone owners use only cellular phones, and the trend is rising. According to a Harris Poll of 9132 surveyed adulis, 8996 of adults have a cell phone. In an Associated Press/America Online Pew Poll of 1,200 cell phone users, it was discovered that two-thirds of all cell phone users said that it would be hard to give up their cell phones, and 2696 responded that they cannot imagine life without their cell phones. In spite of American's growing dependence on their cell phones, not everyone is happy about their usage. Almost 9 out of 10 cell users encounter others using their phones in an annoying way. In addition, 289% claim that sometimes they do not drive as safely as they should because they are using cell phones. Now, there are multiple uses for the cell phone, including picture taking, text messaging, game playing, and others. According to the study, two-thirds of cell phone own- ers in the 18 to 29 age bracket sent text messages using their cell phones, 55% take pictures with their phones, 47% play games on the phones, and 28% use the Internet through their cell phones. Managerial and Statistical Questions 1. One sty reports that 14% of cell phone owners in the United States use only cellular phones (no land lin). Suppose you randomly select 20 Americans, what ithe probability that more than 7 ofthe sample use only cll Phones? 2. The study also reports that 9 out of 10 cell users encounter others using thelr phones in an annoying wa. Based on this ifyou were to randomly select 25 call phone users, whats the probability that fewer than 20 report that they encounter others using thet phones in an annoying way? 3, Suppose a survey of cell phone users shows that, on average, cel phone user receives 3.6 calls per day. If this figure is true, what isthe probability that a cell phone user receives no cals in a day? What is the probability that acell phone user receves five or more calls in a day?
