Question

Choose the correct problem formulation: It is known that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes. A random sample of 25 customers is selected. Assume that the customers' purchases are made independently, and let x represent the number of customers who purchase a pair of running shoes. What is the probability that no more than 19 customers purchase a pair of running shoes?

P(x <= 18) - P(x <= 17)

P(x <= 19)

1 - P(x < 17) = 1 - P(x <= 16)

P(x <= 21) - P(x <= 16)

None of the above.

t is known that 70% of the customers in a sporting goods store purchase a pair of running shoes. A random sample of 25 customers is selected. Assume that the customers' purchases are made independently, and let x represent the number of customers who purchase a pair of running shoes. What is the probability that exactly 17 customers purchase a pair of running shoes?
