Poor Milhouse is hopelessly in love with Lisa. Unfortunately for Milhouse, Lisa does not feel the same way. However, Milhouse remains hopeful, since on any given day independently there is a 6% chance that Lisa smiles at him. (Assume a month has 30 days for this problem.) What is the probability that Milhouse goes longer than a month without a smile from Lisa

15.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each day there is a 6% chance that Lisa smiles at him then that means that each day there is a 94% chance that Lisa does not smile at him. To find the probability of Milhouse going longer than a month (30 days) without a smile from Lisa we need to multiply this percentage in decimal form for every day of the month. This can be solved easily by putting 94% to the 30th power which would be the same, but first, we need to turn it into a decimal...

94% / 100 = 0.94

= 0.156

Now we can turn this decimal into a percentage by multiplying by 100

0.156 * 100 = 15.6%

Finally, we can see that the probability that Milhouse goes longer than a month without a smile from Lisa is 15.6%
