Of all airline flight requests received by a certain discount ticket broker, 90% are for domestic travel (D) and 10% are for international flights (I). Let x be the number of requests among the next three requests received that are for domestic flights. Assuming independence of successive requests, determine the probability distribution of x. (Hint: One possible outcome is DID, with the probability (0.9)(0.1)(0.9) = 0.081.) Value of x Probability 1 2 3
