- Afrika works in a call centre.
She assumes that calls are independent and knows, from past experience, that on each sales call that she makes there is a probability of \(\frac { 1 } { 6 }\) that it is successful.
Afrika makes 9 sales calls.
- Calculate the probability that at least 3 of these sales calls will be successful.
The probability of Afrika making a successful sales call is the same each day.
Afrika makes 9 sales calls on each of 5 different days. - Calculate the probability that at least 3 of the sales calls will be successful on exactly 1 of these days.
Rowan works in the same call centre as Afrika and believes he is a more successful salesperson.
To check Rowan’s belief, Afrika monitors the next 35 sales calls Rowan makes and finds that 11 of the sales calls are successful.
- Stating your hypotheses clearly test, at the \(5 \%\) level of significance, whether or not there is evidence to support Rowan’s belief.
