Which flip has the highest chance of being the first flip to come up heads?

</p>

</statement>

<solution>
|

<p>
|

<m>\Pr(T = k) = 0.6^{k-1} \cdot 0.4</m>, so every additional flip multiplies the probability by 0.6.
|
||||
Therefore, the highest value for <m>\Pr(T = k)</m> occurs when <m>k = 1</m>, in which case <m>\Pr(T = 1) = 0.4.</m>

During a 4-hour afternoon shift, what is the probability of serving 80 customers.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</statement>
|
||||
|
||||
<solution>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let <m>N</m> be the number of customers seen during the afternoon shift.
|
||||
Since the store averages 20 customers per hour, it will average 80 per 4-hours.
|
||||
So <m>N \sim \Poiss(20, 4)</m> will have distribution <m>\Pr(N = k) = \frac{80^{k}}{k!} e^{-80}</m>.
|
||||
Therefore:
|
||||
<md>
|
||||
<mrow> \Pr(N = 80) = \frac{80^{80}}{80!} e^{-80} \approx 0.045. </mrow>
