Pizza delivery 2016-04-03
From Andrew:
Suppose you own a local pizza restaurant, Pizza with Pizzazz, and in order to compete with the big pizza chains in your area you are considering an advertising campaign offering customers a free pizza if their pizza is not delivered in 30 minutes or less. Even though your pizza restaurant is known for its fast and friendly delivery service, you are not sure if you can afford to give away too many pizzas for free. Looking over your past 12,421 pizza deliveries you find out 97% of the pizzas were delivered in 30 minutes or less.

Calculate the probability that all 100 randomly selected pizza deliveries will have been made in 30 minutes or less? Hint: Use the multiplication rule. (Round 4 decimals)

I'm really stumped on how exactly to do this problem. I don't need the answer just the steps broken down to show me how to get it! It would be gladly appreciated if you could help!

Pizza delivery 2000-12-07
From Meghan:
3 men give 10 dollars each to a pizza deliver driver and when he gets back to his work the manager says to the pizza driver the bill was actually 25 dollar so he has to returns 5 dollars. on his way to the mens house he the driver decides to kept 2 dollars for himself and he gives 1 dollar back to each of the men. So each one of the men actually paid 9 dollars. but 9 times 3 is 27 plus the other 2 that the driver took equals 29 so where did the other dollar go.
