    Answer: The probability that none of the calls would result in a reservation would be 0.72%.

    Since there is an 18% chance that there would be a reservation, then there is a 72% chance that there is not a reservation.

    Our goal is to determine the likelihood that there are no calls. Or that the 72% chance event happens 15 times.

    We can use the following expression to find that repeated probability.

    (0.72) ^15 = 0.0072 or 0.72%
