A salesperson has a 20% chance of making a sale to any customer who is called upon. If 6 calls are made, what is the probability that
A- three sales are made?
P(x = 3) = 6C3*0.2^3*0.8^3 = binompdf(6,0.2,3) =
------------------------------------------
B- at least one sale is made?
P(1<= x <=6) = 1 - P(x = 0) = 1 - 0.8^6 =
---------------------------
C- Find the mean of the distribution
u = np = 6*0.2 = 1.2
-----------------------
D-find the standard deviation of the distriubtion
std = sqrt(npq) = sqrt(1.2*0.8) = 0.979
------------------------
