Ten percent of U.S. households contain 5 or more people. You want to simulate choosing a household at random and recording “Yes” if it contains 5 or more people. Which of these are correct assignments of digits for this simulation? please explain

(a) Odd = Yes; Even = No

(b) 0 = Yes; 1–9 = No

(c) 0–5 = Yes; 6–9 = No

(d) 0–4 = Yes; 5–9 = No

(e) None of these

please explain

Solution

It is given that 10% of U.S. households containe 5 or more people. There are 10 digits and if each digit is equally likely (10% percent chance of each digit) then we can use a single digit corresponding to response Yes and rest 9 digits to response No. So option (b) is correct.
