Answer:

a) P = 0.039

b) The expected number of days is 10 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most appropiate distribution to use in this case is the geometric distribution, in order to calculate the probability of a success after k failure trials.

The probability of success, as each of the 10 products are assumed to have fair probabilities, is:

p=1/10=0.1

Then, the probability that our product is not selected any given day is:

q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9

a) The probability that exactly this product is selected exactly 10 days from now is the probability that is not selected (probbility q) for the next 9 days and selected (probability p) at the 10th day:

P=q^9p^1=0.9^9\cdot0.1=0.3874\cdot0.1=0.039

b) The expected number of days is calculated as:

E(X)=\dfrac{1}{p}=\dfrac{1}{0.1}=10
