In a particular area of West Texas, an oil company has determined that the successful number of oil strikes happens at a rate of 0.25 per 100 acres. a. The company leases the mineral rights to a 100 acre plot of land. What is the probability of striking oil at least once? b. If the company leased 10, 100 acre plots of land, what is the probability of striking oil at least once on the total 1000 acres? c. If the company decides to keep leasing mineral rights, incrementally, on 100 acre plots of land until 3 of the leases strike oil at least once, what is the probability that it takes 5 or more leases to see the third and final lease strike oil at least once? d. What is the expected number of leases the company will need to purchase in order to see 3 of them strike oil at least once?
