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 fewer. Through observation, the baker has established the probability distribution below, where X is the number of batches the baker will sell. What is P(x > 2)?
Use the following information to answer the next six exercises: 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 fewer. Through observation, the baker has established a probability distribution. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline x & {P(x)} \\ \hline 1 & {0.15} \\ \hline 2 & {0.35} \\ \hline 3 & {0.40} \\ \hline 4 & {0.10} \\ \hline\end{array}$$ What is the probability the baker will sell more than one batch? $P(x>1)=$_________
