Charges for advertising on a TV show are based on the number of
viewers, which is measured by
the rating. The rating is a percentage of the population of 110
million TV households. The CBS
television show 60 Minutes recently had a rating of 7.8, indicating
that 7.8% of the households
were tuned to that show. An advertiser conducts an independent
survey of 100 households and
finds that only 7 were tuned to 60 Minutes. Assuming that the 7.8
rating is correct, find the
probability of surveying 100 randomly selected households and
getting 7 or fewer tuned to 60
Minutes. What does this suggest? Does the advertiser have grounds
for claiming a refund on the
basis that the size of the audience was exaggerated?
