Let's denote the probability of a customer making a purchase as p = 0.25 n = 20
a. To find the probability that exactly 10 customers make purchases in a sample of 20, we can use the binomial probability formula:
P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} \cdot p^k \cdot (1-p)^{n-k}
Substitutek = 10 n = 20 p = 0.25
P(X = 10) = \binom{20}{10} \cdot (0.25)^{10} \cdot (0.75)^{10}
Calculating this gives:
P(X=10)=\binom{20}{10}\cdot(0.25)^{10}\cdot(0.75)^{10}\approx0.0099
