A random variable has the following probability distribution:
| X = xi : | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| P (X = xi) : | k | 2k | 3k | 4k |
Write the value of P (X ≥ 3).
उत्तर
We know that the sum of probabilities in a probability distribution is always 1.
∴ P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 4) = 1
\[\Rightarrow k + 2k + 3k + 4k = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow 10k = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow k = \frac{1}{10}\]
\[\text{ Now} , \]
\[P\left( X \geq 3 \right) = P\left( X = 3 \right) + P\left( X = 4 \right) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{4}{10} = \frac{7}{10}\]

The probability that a bomb will hit the target is 0.8. Complete the following activity to find, the probability that, out of 5 bombs exactly 2 will miss the target.
Solution: Here, n = 5, X =number of bombs that hit the target
p = probability that bomb will hit the target = `square`
∴ q = 1 - p = `square`
Here, `X∼B(5,4/5)`
∴ P(X = x) = `""^"n""C"_x"P"^x"q"^("n" - x) = square`
P[Exactly 2 bombs will miss the target] = P[Exactly 3 bombs will hit the target]
= P(X = 3)
=`""^5"C"_3(4/5)^3(1/5)^2=10(4/5)^3(1/5)^2`
∴ P(X = 3) = `square`
A large chain retailer purchases an electric device from the manufacturer. The manufacturer indicates that the defective rate of the device is 10%. The inspector of the retailer randomly selects 4 items from a shipment. Complete the following activity to find the probability that the inspector finds at most one defective item in the 4 selected items.
Solution:
Here, n = 4
p = probability of defective device = 10% = `10/100 = square`
∴ q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.1 = `square`
X ∼ B(4, 0.1)
`P(X=x)=""^n"C"_x p^x q^(n-x)= ""^4"C"_x (0.1)^x (0.9)^(4 - x)`
P[At most one defective device] = P[X ≤ 1]
= P[X=0] + P[X=1]
= `square+square`
∴ P[X ≤ 1] = `square`
