The probability that he does not wait for more than five minutes all 5 days this week is 0.16807

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The probability that he waits for more than 5 minutes is:

p = 30%

This means that the probability that he does not wait for more than 5 minutes is

q = 70%

If he does not wait for more than five minutes all 5 days this week, the probability is:

P = q^5

This gives

P = (70%)^5

Evaluate

P = 0.16807

Hence, the probability that he does not wait for more than five minutes all 5 days this week is 0.16807
