If the probability that a person is not a swimmer is 0.3, then the probability that out of 5 persons 4 are swimmers is

A

`""^(5)C_(4)(0.7)^(4)(0.3)`

B

`""^(5)C_(1)(0.7)(0.3)^(4)`

C

`""^(5)C_(4)(0.7)(0.3)^(4)`

D

`(0.7)^(4)(0.3)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use the binomial probability formula. The question states that the probability that a person is not a swimmer is \(0.3\). Therefore, the probability that a person is a swimmer, \(p\), is: \[ p = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 \] We need to find the probability that out of 5 persons, exactly 4 are swimmers. ...
