I have a probability distribution of customers visiting a store as follows:
\n" ); document.write( "18% of customers come 2x a week
\n" ); document.write( "25% of customers come 3x a week
\n" ); document.write( "33% of customers come 4x a week
\n" ); document.write( "13% of customers come 5x a week
\n" ); document.write( "8% OF customers come 6x a week
\n" ); document.write( "3% of customers come 7x a week
\n" ); document.write( "How many unique customers do I need to have a total of 400 customers every week? Assuming that every visitor is a customer and will purchase.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" be the number of unique customers:
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "2*0.18x + 3*0.25x + 4*0.33x + 5*0.13x + 6*0.08x + 7*0.03x = 400
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "0.36x + 0.75x + 1.32x + 0.65x + 0.48x + 2.1x = 400
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "5.66x = 400
\n" ); document.write( "x = 70.67 unique customers
