Mike is a major league pitcher. He pitches like a robot, that is he pitches the same way to each batter. There is a .56 probability that the first ball he pitches to a batter is a strike. (first-pitch strike). This is independent from batter to batter. Let X equal the number of first-pitch strikes Mike throws in a game where he pitches to 15 batters. Let Y equal the number of batters he pitches to until he throws his 2nd first-pitch strike. (could be more than 15)

a. What is the probability X=13?
b. What is the standard deviation of X?
c. What is the probability that X > 10?
d. What is the probability that X ≥ 12?
e. What is the probability that Y = 3?
f. What is the probability that Y = 2?
