A car dealership sells vehicles with electric motors and vehicles with thermal engines. Some customers, before visiting the dealership website, consulted the dealership's digital platform. It was observed that:
- $20\%$ of customers are interested in vehicles with electric motors and $80\%$ prefer to purchase a vehicle with a thermal engine;
- when a customer wishes to buy a vehicle with an electric motor, the probability that the customer consulted the digital platform is 0.5;
- when a customer wishes to buy a vehicle with a thermal engine, the probability that the customer consulted the digital platform is 0.375.
Consider the following events:
- $C$: ``a customer consulted the digital platform'';
- $E$: ``a customer wishes to acquire a vehicle with an electric motor'';
- $T$: ``a customer wishes to acquire a vehicle with a thermal engine''.
Customers make choices independently of one another.
- a. Calculate the probability that a randomly chosen customer wishes to acquire a vehicle with an electric motor and consulted the digital platform.
A weighted tree diagram may be used. b. Prove that $P(C) = 0.4$. c. Suppose that a customer consulted the digital platform. Calculate the probability that the customer wishes to buy a vehicle with an electric motor. - The dealership welcomes an average of 17 clients daily. Let $X$ be the random variable giving the number of clients wishing to acquire a vehicle with an electric motor. a. Specify the nature and parameters of the probability distribution followed by $X$. b. Calculate the probability that at least three of the clients wish to buy a vehicle with an electric motor during a day. Give the result rounded to $10^{-2}$.
