The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that a student who has passed the examination is the only student who passed, given that the probability of exactly \( i \) students passing is proportional to \( i^2 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Probability Function**: Let \( P(E_i) \) be the probability of exactly \( i \) students passing the examination. According to the problem, this probability is directly proportional to \( i^2 \). Therefore, we can express this as: \[ P(E_i) = k \cdot i^2 \] where \( k \) is a constant of proportionality. 2. **Calculate Total Probability**: The total probability for all possible outcomes (from 0 to 10 students passing) must equal 1. Thus, we have: \[ P(E_0) + P(E_1) + P(E_2) + \ldots + P(E_{10}) = 1 \] Substituting the expression for \( P(E_i) \): \[ k \cdot (0^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + \ldots + 10^2) = 1 \] The sum of squares from 0 to 10 can be calculated as: \[ 0^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + \ldots + 10^2 = \frac{10(10 + 1)(2 \cdot 10 + 1)}{6} = \frac{10 \cdot 11 \cdot 21}{6} = 385 \] Thus, we have: \[ k \cdot 385 = 1 \implies k = \frac{1}{385} \] 3. **Find Individual Probabilities**: Now we can find the probabilities for each case: \[ P(E_0) = k \cdot 0^2 = 0 \] \[ P(E_1) = k \cdot 1^2 = \frac{1}{385} \] \[ P(E_2) = k \cdot 2^2 = \frac{4}{385} \] \[ P(E_3) = k \cdot 3^2 = \frac{9}{385} \] \[ P(E_4) = k \cdot 4^2 = \frac{16}{385} \] \[ P(E_5) = k \cdot 5^2 = \frac{25}{385} \] \[ P(E_6) = k \cdot 6^2 = \frac{36}{385} \] \[ P(E_7) = k \cdot 7^2 = \frac{49}{385} \] \[ P(E_8) = k \cdot 8^2 = \frac{64}{385} \] \[ P(E_9) = k \cdot 9^2 = \frac{81}{385} \] \[ P(E_{10}) = k \cdot 10^2 = \frac{100}{385} \] 4. **Calculate \( P(A) \)**: Let \( A \) be the event that a student passes the examination. The probability of event \( A \) is given by: \[ P(A) = P(E_1) + P(E_2) + P(E_3) + \ldots + P(E_{10}) \] \[ P(A) = \frac{1}{385} + \frac{4}{385} + \frac{9}{385} + \frac{16}{385} + \frac{25}{385} + \frac{36}{385} + \frac{49}{385} + \frac{64}{385} + \frac{81}{385} + \frac{100}{385} \] \[ P(A) = \frac{1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36 + 49 + 64 + 81 + 100}{385} = \frac{385}{385} = 1 \] 5. **Find \( P(E_1 | A) \)**: We need to find the conditional probability \( P(E_1 | A) \): \[ P(E_1 | A) = \frac{P(E_1)}{P(A)} = \frac{\frac{1}{385}}{1} = \frac{1}{385} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the probability that a student who has passed the examination is the only student who passed is: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{385}} \]
