    Question

    We draw a random sample among 2,500 adults. Suppose X is the number of people in the sample living unmarried with a partner. The probability that at least 1/5 of this sample is unmarried cohabiting can be written as:


    1. FALSE: P (X≥1/5).
    2. FALSE: P (X≤500).
    3. TRUE: P (X≥500).
    4. FALSE: P (X≤ 2000).
    5. FALSE: P (X≤ 2500).

    1. P (X≥1/5)…: Incorrect
    2. P (X≤ 500)..: Incorrect
    3. P (X≥500): Correct
    4. P (X≤ 2000)..: Incorrect
    5. P (X≤ 2500)..: Incorrect
