In: Statistics and Probability
Solution:
Probability (P)(for k success in n trials),
Where p is probability of success and n is number of consumers selected randomly
Here, n=8 and p=0.50
P(exactly 5 consumers prefer to purchase online)=
Thus, probability of exactly 5 consumers prefer to purchase electronics online is 0.21875.
P(more than 5 consumers prefer to purchase online)
Thus, probability of more than 5 consumers prefer to purchase electronics online is 0.14453125
P(at most 5 consumers prefer to purchase online)= 1-P(more than 5 consumers prefer to purchase electronics online)
=1-(0.14453125)
=0.85546875.
Thus, probability of at most five consumers prefer to purchase electronics online is 0.85546875.
