    The document discusses binomial probability distributions and uses examples involving dice rolls, seed germination rates, and customer sales to illustrate binomial experiments. Page 1 introduces binomial expressions and their components.

    Based on the information given, the probability of making a sale to each customer is 0.2 or 20%.

    Based on the information provided, the minimum number of sales the salesman can expect to make on most days (87.7% of days) is 4.

    14. The total probability is the sum of the probabilities for having 7, 8, 9
    or 10 members present.

    The total probability is 0.9872.


    15. Let X represent the number of sales made. Calculate the probability
    for each value of X starting at 0. Once we have a total probability of
    10% for the first n values, then we will have a 90% probability that X >
    n.

    The salesman will make 3 or fewer sales on 12.3% of the days he works.
    He would expect to make 4 or more sales on the remaining 87.7% of the
    days he works.
