I am new to stats so I need help
They have also asked the probability of an individual consumer receiving a prize over the course of a year. For this Probability option we will use the Empirical or relative frequency method. Factors governing the out come are:
- There is no more information available as we are in the planning stage.
- We have no number of customers because the card has not been promoted yet.
- We have no history or existing sources of data on the sweepstakes because none have been performed yet.
In answering this question you must CALCULATE and present a probability or a range of probabilities that an individual consumer will receive a prize during the year based on the “frequency” of 52 purchases per year. Please explain the NATURE OF THE PROBABILITY OR RANGE OF PROBABILITIES presented, i.e. explain what the probability number(s) mean.
Hint: Please note that nothing is said of how these 52 purchases will occur IN TIME throughout the year for the average customer.
You must determine how these 52 purchases are employed in concert with the 1000 sweepstake entrees per sweepstake in determining the probability you will provide for winning a sweepstakes.
The consumer sweepstake will be calculated at:
P (E) Relative frequency of E = Frequency of E
. Numbers is trails of Expectations
A sweepstakes occurs every time 1000 purchases accumulate for the bank. A sweepstakes occurs per 1000 purchases on a “RUNNING BASIS” throughout the year every consumer has a central tendency to make 52 purchases per year based on a “FREQUENCY STUDY “performed earlier by the bank. Calculate the probability of a consumer getting at least one prize within a year is:
N(n) =1000 (RUNNING BASIS TRAILS)
N(F)=52 (FREQUENCY STUDY)
52/1000= .052= 5.2%
P (E) 5%
am I thinking right ?
