Answer:

0.551

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no. of people who take discount = x

Using binomial distribution, N c X. p^x. q^(n-x)

p : customer getting discount = 0.3, q : customer not getting discount = 0.7   n : no. of customers = 8

Probability that x < 3 : Prob (x=0) + Prob (x=1) + Prob (x=2)

= 8 c 0. (0.3)^0 . (0.7)^8 + 8 c 1. (0.3)^1 . (0.7)^7 + 8 c 2. (0.3)^2 . (0.7)^6

0.05764801 +  0.19765032 + 0.29647548

0.551

If you take 0.98 and multiply by 2.5 you get 2.45 so there is no better deal. ☺

How many even 3-digit positive integers can be written using the digits 1,2,4,7, and 8?
N76 [4]

Looking at the question, we can see we have 5 different numbers that can go in any order.

<u>5</u> * <u>4</u> * <u>3</u>

The above is basically saying there are 5 different numbers that can be multiplied by 4 other numbers. Those 2 can be multiplied by 3 different ones, leaving us with a 3 digit positive integer.

5 * 4* 3 = 60
