The average rental duration is 36 hours.(a)- What is the likelihood that a customer going to the video store will find the movie available?(b)- Assume each rental is $5. How much revenue does the store make per day from the movie?(c)- Assume each customer that is not able to obtain the movie will receive a $1 bill.
