In a box of floppy discs, it is known that 95% will work. A sample of three of the discs is selected at random. Find the probability that all 3 of the sample will work.
उत्तर
Let X = number of working discs.
p = probability that a floppy disc works
∴ p = 95% = `95/100 = 19/20`
and q = 1 - p = `1 - 19/20 = 1/20`
Given: n = 3
∴ X ~ B`(3, 19/20)`
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = `"^nC_x p^x q^(n - x)`
i.e. p(x) = `"^3C_x (19/20)^x (1/20)^(3-x)`, x = 0, 1, 2, 3
P(all 3 floppy discs work) = P(X = 3)
= p(3) = `"^3C_3 (19/20)^3 (1/20)^(3 - 3)`
`= 1 xx (19/20)^3 xx (1/20)^0`
`= (19/20)^3`
Hence, the probability that none of the floppy disc will work = `(19/20)^3`.

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`
