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%

Vinvika [58]
F = 1.8C + 32

С = -10   ⇒   F = 1.8·(-10) + 32 = 14   ⇒   (-10, 14)
С = 0      ⇒   F = 1.8·(0) + 32 = 32      ⇒   (0, 32)
С = 10    ⇒   F = 1.8·(10) + 32 = 50    ⇒   (10, 50)
С = 20    ⇒   F = 1.8·(20) + 32 = 68    ⇒   (20, 68)
