Question

a baker is deciding how many batches of muffins to make to sell in his bakery. he wants to make enough to sell every one and no less. through observation, the baker has established a probability distribution.

x	p(x)
1	0.15
2	0.35
3	0.40
4	0.10

what is the probability the baker will sell exactly one batch? p(x = 1) =
a. 0.15
b. 0.35
c. 0.40
d. 0.10

Explanation:

Step1: Identify value from table

From the probability - distribution table, when \(x = 1\), \(P(x)\) is the probability of selling exactly 1 batch.

Step2: Determine probability

We see that when \(x = 1\), \(P(x)=0.15\).

Answer:

A. 0.15
