Ming is learning the game of tennis and will practice serving a tennis ball within bounds. Assume that the probability of Ming serving a tennis ball within bounds is 0.40 and that her serves are independent of each other. What is the probability that the first time Ming serves a tennis ball within bounds will occur on her 4th attempt? (A) 0.4 (B) 1 (0.4)4 = (C) (0.6)³ (0.4) (D) (1) (0.4) (0.6)³ (E) 0.4)³ (0.6) (1) (0.4) (0.6)³ + (2) (0.4)2(0.6)² + (3) (0.4)
