Find the probability distribution of number of tails in the simultaneous tosses of three coins.
उत्तर
When three coins are tossed simultaneously, the sample space is
{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
Let X represent the number of tails.
It can be seen that X can take the value of 0, 1, 2 or 3
P(X = 0) = P(HHH) = `1/8`
P(X = 1) = P(HHT) + P(HTH) + P(THH) =`1/8 +1/8+1/8 =3/8`
P(X = 2) = P(HTT) + P(THT) + P(TTH) =`1/8+1/8+1/8 = 3/8`
P(X = 3) = P(TTT) = `1/8`
Thus, the probability distribution is as follows.
| X | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| P(X) | `1/8` | `3/8` | `3/8` | `1/8` |

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`
