Expert Solution
Step 1

The random variable X is making sales.

The number of cars per hour is 6.

The probability of making a sale is p=0.3

Making the sale is independent of each other.

Therefore random variable X follows a binomial distribution.

The probability mass function of the binomial distribution is as follows.

P(X=x)=Cxnpx(1-p)n-x        X=0,1,...n
