You are trying so solve
<span><span>3^x</span>=8</span>
and since 8 is not an integral power of x you need a calculator.
it is <span><span>ln(8)/</span><span>ln(3)</span></span>
or

Answer:
0.7061 = 70.61% probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season
Step-by-step explanation:
For each race, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the person has a crash, or the person does not. The probability of having a crash during a race is independent of whether there was a crash in any other race. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
A certain performer has an independent .04 probability of a crash in each race.
This means that 
a) What is the probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season
This is:

When 
We have that:



0.7061 = 70.61% probability she will have her first crash within the first 30 races she runs this season
Equation Form:
w x 2
19
Divide both sides by 2:
w
9.5
So, w must be equal to or greater than 9.5 for this equation to work.
So first you’ll have to find the total or the sum of collected.
$90+$60= $150
Because you’re finding the percent of the total collected by girl scouts, divide the amount collected from the girl scouts by the total.
$90/$150= .6
Multiply that by 100 to get %60.
