For each of the following four statements, indicate whether it is possible or not according to probability theory. Explain your answer. (1) The probability that a customer will buy 5 items in a single purchase is 30% (2) The probability that a customer will buy 3 items in a single purchase is 101% (3) The probability that a customer will buy 3 items in a single purchase is 99% (4) The probability that a customer will buy 8 item

a) According to probability theory, the following are possible:

(1) The probability that a customer will buy 5 items in a single purchase is 30%.  This represents a 0.30 chance of the customer buying 5 items.

(3) The probability that a customer will buy 3 items in a single purchase is 99%  This means that there a 0.99 chance that the customer will buy 3 items.

b) According to probability theory, the following are not possible:

2) The probability that a customer will buy 3 items in a single purchase is 101%.  Probability is always equal to 1 or 100%.  It cannot exceed 100%.

(4) The probability that a customer will buy 8 item.  This part lacks the necessary information to solve the problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability describes the likelihood or chance of an event happening out of the many possible events that can take place.  The sum of all probabilities for a particular event is always equal to 1.  This shows that probability does not exceed 100%.
