The probability that your call to a service line is answered in less than 30 seconds is $0.75 .$ Assume that your calls are independent. (a) What is the probability that you must call four times to obtain the first answer in less than 30 seconds? (b) What is the mean number of calls until you are answered in less than 30 seconds?
