You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability that a salesperson will make a sale is 0.8. What is the probability (assuming independence) that on two calls made in a day the salesperson will:
a. make two sales?::::0.8^2 = 0.64
-----------------------------
c. Make no sales?:::0.2^2 = 0.04
-----------------------------
b. Make at least one sale? :::
P(at least one sale) = 1 - P(no sales)
= 1 - 0.04
= 0.96

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Probability of making a sale = 0.8
Probability of not making a sale = 0.2
a) Probability of making two sales =
b) probability of making at least one sale =
c) probability of making no sales =
(
