Answer:

a) According to probability theory, the following are possible:

(1) The probability that a customer will buy 5 items in a single purchase is 30%.  This represents a 0.30 chance of the customer buying 5 items.

(3) The probability that a customer will buy 3 items in a single purchase is 99%  This means that there a 0.99 chance that the customer will buy 3 items.

b) According to probability theory, the following are not possible:

2) The probability that a customer will buy 3 items in a single purchase is 101%.  Probability is always equal to 1 or 100%.  It cannot exceed 100%.

(4) The probability that a customer will buy 8 item.  This part lacks the necessary information to solve the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability describes the likelihood or chance of an event happening out of the many possible events that can take place.  The sum of all probabilities for a particular event is always equal to 1.  This shows that probability does not exceed 100%.

Karolina [17]
We have that

(v+6)^2 = 324-----> I raise to 1/2 both members----> [(v+6)^2]^(1/2)=(324)^(1/2)[(v+6)]=(324)^(1/2)-------------> v+6=√324
v=√324-6---------> 18-6=12
v=12

the answer is v=12
