The probability that a certain kind of component will survive a given shock test is `3/4` . Find the probability that among 5 components tested (i) Exactly 2 will survive (ii) At most 3 will survive

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `X` denote the number of components that survive shock.
Then, `X` follows a binomial distribution with `{n}=5.`
Let `p` be the probability that a certain kind of component will survive a given shock test.
`therefore p=frac{3}{4} text { and } q=frac{1}{4}`
Hence, the disrtibution is given by
