As part of a promotion for a new type of cracker, free samples are offered to shoppers in a local supermarket. The probability that a shopper will buy a package of crackers after tasting the free sample is 0.2. Different shoppers can be regarded as independent trials. Let p̂ be the sample proportion of the next 100 shoppers that buy a package of crackers after tasting a free sample. The probability that more than 30% of these individuals buy a package of crackers after tasting sample is closest to which of the following? a. 0.0062 b. 0.1056 c. 0.2 d. 0.8156 e. 0.9938

You are the sales manager for a large high-end clothing store. You have a total of 100 salespeople at the store, and 50 of them sold $1000 or less yesterday while the rest sold over $1000. Among the salespeople who sold $1000 or less, there is a probability of 0.30 that the salesperson is new on the job (less than one year of experience). Among the salespeople who sold over $1000 there is a probability of 0.10 that the salesperson is new on the job (less than one year of experience). Given that a salesperson is new on the job, what is the probability that the salesperson sold over $1000 yesterday? You can round your answer to two decimal places.
