okay guys i have a doubt....
of the customers visiting the stereo section of a large electronic store 75% on average make a purchase....find the least possible number of customers, given that the probability of all customers making a purchase is less than 5%
thanks in advance  ;D

ehm ehm one more doubt ;D ;D
A license plate has 3 letters and 3 digits in that order.A witness to a hit and run accident saw the first 2 letters and the last digit.If the letters and digits can be repeated,how many license plate should be checked before finding the culprit?
ANS: 2600

Thanks again ;D

###***
26C1=26(choosing da last remaining letter)
10C1*10C1=100(choosing both digits,dey cn b repeated)
26*100=2600

P(x=n)<0.05
= (0.75)^n<0.05

take log on both sides
log(0.75)^n<log(0.05)
nlog(0.75)<log(0.05)
n(-0.28768)<-2.99573
when we convert negative to positive the inequality reverses
n>2.99573/0.28768
n>10.4134
n>11

I thought of the same after i got my first answer wrong

I was confused because he bought a total of 5 cards right

so couldnt it be 3C1(19/20)^2(1/20) as he stopped looking at cards after the third one?
