Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: The expected loss is 50 cents, we know that it is more likely to lose than win. It is therefore difficult to get-50, so the overall difference between the two possibilities is 2, 50/200=1/4, and the probability to win is 1/4, and the probability to lose is 3/4. Since (1/4)*3=3/4, the number of black balls is 3 times the number of white balls, so k=15.

This is a binomial probability situation, since a dog either is adopted or is not adopted. The chances of a dog's being adopted in 0.20. Here we're speaking of 9 visits. Thus, n=9, p=0.20.
One way of doing this problem is to calculate the probability that ONE dog will be adopted, and then that that TWO dogs will be adopted, and so on, up to NINE dogs. Add together these nine probabilities to get your answer.
But a better (faster) approach would be to calculate the probability that ZERO dogs will be adopted, and then to subtract this from 1.000.
Using my TI-84Plus calculator, I figured that P(0 dogs will be adopted) is binompdf(9,0.20,0), or 0.134. Subtracting this from 1.000, we get 0.866 (answer to this problem).
