In a random sample of 20 customers that walked into the store, a. what is the probability that exactly 10 of the customers make purchases? Round to 3 significant digits. b. what is the probability that at least 2 of the customers make purchases? Round to 3 significant digits. c. how many of the customers are expected to make purchases? Round to 3 significant digits. d. what is the standard deviation of the number of customers who make purchases? Round to 3 significant digits.

Formulas
Binomial probability formula: P(X = k) = (n choose k) * p^k * (1 - p)^(n - k)
Expected value of a binomial distribution: E(X) = n * p
Standard deviation of a binomial distribution: σ = sqrt(n * p * (1 - p))
