Assuming that each serve is independent,
(a) find the probability that
(i) Irina’s 4th fault comes on her 20th serve,
(2)
(ii) in 18 serves, Irina has 4 faults.
(2)
With practice, Irina reduces her proportion of faults, p, so that the mean number of
serves until her 4th fault is at least 32
(b) Find the maximum value of p
