To determine the probability that more than two but less than four shoplifting incidents will occur during a given day, we need to find the sum of the probabilities for 3 and 4 incidents, and subtract the probability for 4 incidents:
P(3 incidents) + P(4 incidents) = 0.3 + 0.15 = 0.45
Therefore, the probability that more than two but less than four shoplifting incidents will occur during a given day is 0.45.
P(3 incidents) + P(4 incidents) = 0.3 + 0.15 = 0.45
Therefore, the probability that more than two but less than four shoplifting incidents will occur during a given day is 0.45.
