Question

Novak Djokovic, one of the top male tennis players in the world, makes a successful first serve 53% of the time. If he serves 15 times, what is the probability that he gets exactly 9 first serves in? Assume that each serve is independent of the others.

 

Don't forget to identify the values of n, x, p, and q before computing. If the rate is given to you as a percent, remember to convert to decimal before using as your value for p. Use the binomial probability formula and write your answer as a decimal rounded to four places.
