Question

We all hate to bring change to a store. By using random numbers, we can eliminate the need for change and give the store and the customer a fair deal. Suppose you buy something for 20 cents. If the store generated a random number using the cash register (call the random number R), what rule could they use to decide whether you should pay $1 or $0 for the item

Answer 1

Round off to closest value.

Explanation:

In order to remove the requirement for change, every time the client buys a product for $0.20 the random number that lies between 0 and 1 would be produced also the same would be rounded to the closest value i.e. 0 or 1. In the case when 0 arise so the customer would not have to pay any amount but if 1 arise so the customer have to pay $1. So this type of method would remove the requirement for a minor change
