प्रश्न

Choose the correct option from the given alternatives:

The probability of a shooter hitting a target is `3/4` How many minimum numbers of times must he fire so that the probability of hitting the target at least once is more than 0·99?

विकल्प

  • 2

  • 3

  • 4

  • 5

MCQ

उत्तर

4

Hint:

P(X ≥ 1) > 0.99

∴ 1 - P(X = 0) > 0.99

∴ P(X = 0) < 0.01 = `1/100`

∴ `"^nC_0 (3/4)^0 (1/4)^n < 1/100`

∴ `(1/4)^n < 1/100`

∴ n = 4

A pair of dice is thrown 3 times. If getting a doublet is considered a success, find the probability of getting at least two success.

Solution:

A pair of dice is thrown 3 times.

∴ n = 3

Let x = number of success (doublets)

p = probability of success (doublets)

∴  p = `square`, q = `square`

∴ x ∼ B (n, p)

P(x) = nCxpx qn–x

Probability of getting at least two success means x ≥ 2.

∴ P(x ≥ 2) = P(x = 2) + P(x = 3)

= `square` + `square`

= `2/27`
