The interviews suggest traveled 50 or more miles from home at that time is 35,868,500.
Given that,
Statisticians for a roadside assistance company interviewed 50,000 randomly selected United States (US) households.
Of those, 15,595 reported that they had traveled 50 or more miles from home between December 23 and January 4.
If there are 115,000,000 US households.
We have to determine,
How many of them do the interviews suggest traveled 50 or more miles from home at that time?
According to the equation,
The number of roadside assistance interviewed n = 50,000
And 15,595 reported that they had traveled 50 or more miles.
[tex]\rm P (x\geq 50) = \dfrac{15,595}{50,000}\\\\ P (x\geq 50) = 0.3119[/tex]
The population of the United States is 115,000,000.
Therefore,
The current population has gone more than 50 miles is,
[tex]\rm E(x) = n \times p\\\\E(x) = 0.3119 \times 115,000,000\\\\E(x) = 35,868,500[/tex]
Hence, The interviews suggest traveled 50 or more miles from home at that time is 35,868,500.
