Question
Assume the following probabilities:
P(Customer makes a purchase) = 0.350
P(Customer does not make a purchase) = 1- 0.350
Compute the probability that both customers purchase (# purchases = 2), and enter your answer with 3 decimal places.
Assume the following new probabilities:
P(Customer makes a purchase) = 0.200
P(Customer does not make a purchase) = 1- 0.200
Compute the probability that neither customer purchases (# purchases = 0), and enter your answer with 3 decimal places.
Assume the following newest probabilities:
P(Customer makes a purchase) = 0.550
P(Customer does not make a purchase) = 1- 0.550
Compute the P(1 purchase), and enter your answer with 3 decimal places.
Explanation / Answer
if there is no prior information:
from property of independence:
1) probability that both customers purchase =0.350*0.350=0.1225
2)probability that neither customer purchases =0.8*0.8 =0.64
3) P( 1 purchase) =P( 1st customer purchase and second not +1st customer not purchase and second does)
=0.550*(1-0.550)+(1-0.550)*0.550=0.4950
