Explanation / Answer

Historically, 5 percent of a mail-order firm’s repeat charge-account customers have an incorrect current address in the firm’s computer database. ---------------- Binomial Problem with n = 12 ; p = 0.05 ---------------- (a) What is the probability that none of the next 12 repeat customers who call will have an incorrect address? P(x= 0) = 12C0(0.05)^0(0.95)^12 = 0.54.. -------------------------------- (b) One customer? P(x= 1) = 12C1(0.05)^1(0.95)^11 = 0.34.. -------------------------------- (c) Two customers? P(x= 2) = 0.099 ------------------------ (d) Fewer than three? P(0
