Let X be a discrete random variable with geometric distribution.
 Let x be the number of tests and p the probability of success in each trial, then the probability distribution is:
 P (X = x) = p * (1-p) ^ (x-1). With x = (1, 2, 3 ... n).
 This function measures the probability P of obtaining the first success at the x attempt.
 We need to know the probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial.
  Where a success is defined as a customer buying online.
 The probability of success in each trial is p = 0.3.
 So:
 P (X = 3) = 0.3 * (1-0.3) ^ (3-1)
 P (X = 3) = 0.147
 The probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial is 14.7%

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2 x 2 x 2 x 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 24:

2 x 12 = 24

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 12, a factor of 24. Replace 12 with these numbers:

2 x (2 x 6) = 2 x 12 = 24

Find two numbers that multiply together to form 6, a factor of 12. Replace 6 with these numbers:

2 x (2 x (2 x 3)) = 2 x (2x6) = 2 x 12 = 24

Two and three cannot be factored any further, therefore the prime factors of 24 are 2, 2, 2, and 3.

Nikolay [14]
The option c is the answer because
2p=p (1.07)^x
2=1.07^x
Solve for x
X=log(2)÷log(1.07)
x=10 years the amount will be doubled after 10 years
But your option says the investment will (more) than double with (12) years
So it's correct
