Answer #1

Probability of a birthday cake order, p = 0.08

P(not a cake order) = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

a) Expected number of customers until the first birthday cake is ordered = 1/p

= 1/0.08

= 12.5

= 13       (after rounding)

b) Probability of first cake order within the first 39 customers = 1 - P(no cake orders within the first 39 customers)

= 1 - 0.9239

= 0.9613
