During the last hour, a telemarketer dialed 20 numbers and reached 4 busy signals, 3 answering machines, and 13 people. Use this information to determine the empirical probability that the next call will be answered in person.

Using the previous frequencies, the probability will be 13/20 or .65.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

I believe it I might be able to answer this, it's, 13/20 or .65 like the person obove said.

To determine the empirical probability that the next call will be answered in person, we divide the number of successful calls (i.e., calls answered by people) by the total number of calls made.

In this case, the telemarketer made 20 calls in total, and out of those, 13 were answered by people. So, the empirical probability that the next call will be answered in person is:

Empirical Probability = Number of successful calls / Total number of calls
= 13 / 20
= 0.65 or 65%

Therefore, based on the information provided, there is a 65% chance that the next call will be answered in person.
