Question

What is the probability the baker will sell more than one batch? $P(x>1)=$.

Short answer

$P(x>1)=0.85$ is the probability that the baker will sell many batches.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

Given data:

With the following probability distribution, a baker decides how many batches of muffins to create to sell in his bakery.

$\begin{array}{|ll|}\hline X& P\left(X\right)\\ 1& 0.15\\ 2& 0.35\\ 3& 0.40\\ 4& 0.10\\ \hline\end{array}$

Explanation

The probability that the baker will sell more than one batch$P(x>1)$:

$P(x>1)=P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)$

$=0.35+0.40+0.10$

$=0.85$
