A salesperson has found that the probability of a sale on a single contact is 0.03. If the salesperson contacts 100 prospects. Use the Poisson approximation to find: 1. the probability of making at least one sale? 0.9502 2. the probability of making more that 2 sales and less that 5 sales?
Asupplier of heavy construction equipment has found that new customers are normally obtained through customer requests for a sales call and that the probability of a sale of a particular piece of equipment is .3. If the supplier has three pieces of the equipment available for sale, what is the probability that it will take fewer than five customer contacts to clear the inventory?

Summary
An advertising agency notices that approximately 1 in 50 potential buyers of a product sees a given magazine ad, and 1 in 5 sees a corresponding ad on television. One in 100 sees both. One in 3 actually purchases the product after seeing the ad, 1 in 10 without seeing it. What is the probability that a randomly selected potential customer will purchase the product?
