A soda pop manufacturer runs a contest and places a winning bottle cap on every sixth bottle. If a person buys the soda pop, find the probability that the person will win for the first time on his third purchase.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The probability (p) of winning a bottle cap =

The probability of not winning a bottle cap will be (q) = 1 - p

Since we are told that the winning is placed once on every sixth bottle

Then the required probability = P( of not winning the first purchase) × P( of not winning the second purchase) × P( of winning the third purchase)

mean, 40.6
