प्रश्न
In a box containing 100 bulbs, 10 are defective. The probability that out of a sample of 5 bulbs, none is defective is
(A) 10−1
(B) `(1/2)^5`
(C) `(9/10)^5`
(D) 9/10
उत्तर
The repeated selections of defective bulbs from a box are Bernoulli trials. Let X denote the number of defective bulbs out of a sample of 5 bulbs.
Probability of getting a defective bulb, p = 10/100 = 1/10
The correct answer is C.
