A public interest group hires students to solicit donations by telephone. After a brief training perod students make cals to potential donors and are paid on a commission basis. Experience indicates that early on, these students tend to have only modest success and that 70% of them give up their jobs in their first two weeks of employment. The group hires 5 students, which can be viewed as a random sample. Answer parts a. and b. below. a. What is the probability that at least 2 of the 5 will give up in the first two weeks? (Round to four decimal places as needed.)

(This is a introduction to statistics course) From past records, a department store finds that 70% of the people who enter the store will make a purchase on Black Friday. Suppose that 3 customers are randomly selected at the store, answer the following questions: 1) What is the chance that exactly one out of three customers make a purchase? Give your answer (%) rounded to one decimal place. (For example, if your answer is 0.5125 (51.25%), then it will be 51.3% after being rounded to one decimal place.) 2) Explain clearly.
