A large store has a customer service department where customers can go to ask for help with store-related issues. According to store records, approximately 1/4 of all customers who go to the service department ask for help finding an item. Assume the reason each customer goes to the service department is independent from customer to customer. Based on the approximation, what is the probability that at least 1 of the next 4 customers who go to the service department will ask for help finding an item?

A supermarket has four checkouts in operation. A customer is in a hurry and leaves without making a purchase if all the checkouts are busy. At that time of day the probability of each checkout being free is 0.25. Assume that whether or not a checkout is busy is independent of any other checkout. What is the probability that the customer will make a purchase?

00:01 This problem says the probability of a salesperson getting an order from a visit to a customer is one in four, one -fourth.
00:08 She has two visits tomorrow.
00:09 What is the probability that she will get orders from both visits? so we are given the probability of just one of these occurrences happening, which is one -fourth.
00:17 But what we need to realize that we have two visits, we have the first visit, and then we have the second visit.
00:23 And if we want to know the probability of two things occurring, we need to look at the probability of them individually.
00:27 So the probability of the first visit getting an order from that customer is 1 out of 4...
