A small boutique sells five different types of handmade candles. The probability distribution of the number of candles sold in a day is as follows: Number of Candles (X) Probability (P(X)) 0 1 2 3 4 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.30 (a) What is the probability that exactly 3 candles are sold on a given day? (b) Calculate the expected number of candles sold in a day. (c) If the boutique sells candles for two consecutive days, what is the probability that they sell 2 candles one day and 3 candles the next?
