Find the probability distribution of the number of successes in two tosses of a die, where a success is defined as six appears on at least one die

बेरीज

उत्तर

Success is defined as a number six appears on at least one die.

Let X denotes the number of successes.

∴ The possible values of X are 0, 1, 2.

Let P(getting six) = p

= `1/6`

∴ q = 1 – p

= `1 - 1/6`

= `5/6`

∴ P(X = 0) = P(no success)

= qq

= q2

= `25/36`

P(X =1) = P(one success)

= pq + qp

= 2pq

= `2 xx 1/6 xx 5/6`

= `10/36`

P(X = 2) = P(two successes)

= pp

= p2

= `1/36`

∴ Probability distribution of X is as follows:

X 0 1 2
P(X = x) `25/36` `10/36` `1/36`

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`
