(i)
X : | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | −1 |
P (X) : | 0.3 | 0.2 | 0.4 | 0.1 | 0.05 |
X : | 0 | 1 | 2 |
P (X) : | 0.6 | 0.4 | 0.2 |
(iii)
X : | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
P (X) : | 0.1 | 0.5 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.1 |
(iv)
X : | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
P (X) : | 0.3 | 0.2 | 0.4 | 0.1 |
उत्तर
(i) P (X = 3) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 0) + P (X = -1)
= 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.1 + 0.05
=1.05 > 1
It is not the probability distribution of random variable X.
(ii) P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2)
= 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.2
= 1.2 > 1
It is not the probability distribution of random variable X.
(iii) P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3) + P (X = 4)
= 0.1 + 0.5 + 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.1
= 1
It is the probability distribution of random variable X.
(iv) P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3)
= 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.4 + 0.1
= 1
It is the probability distribution of random variable X.

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`
