The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that none of the 5 bulbs will fuse after 150 days of use, given that the probability of a bulb fusing is 0.05. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Probability of a Bulb Not Fusing**: - The probability that a bulb will fuse after 150 days is given as \( P(\text{fuse}) = 0.05 \). - Therefore, the probability that a bulb will not fuse is: \[ P(\text{not fuse}) = 1 - P(\text{fuse}) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95 \] 2. **Define the Random Variable**: - Let \( X \) be the number of bulbs that fuse out of 5 bulbs. We are interested in finding \( P(X = 0) \), the probability that none of the bulbs fuse. 3. **Use the Binomial Probability Formula**: - The scenario can be modeled using the binomial distribution, where: - \( n = 5 \) (the number of trials, or bulbs), - \( p = 0.05 \) (the probability of success, i.e., a bulb fusing), - \( q = 0.95 \) (the probability of failure, i.e., a bulb not fusing). - The probability mass function of a binomial distribution is given by: \[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} p^k q^{n-k} \] - For our case, we want \( k = 0 \): \[ P(X = 0) = \binom{5}{0} (0.05)^0 (0.95)^{5} \] 4. **Calculate the Binomial Coefficient**: - The binomial coefficient \( \binom{5}{0} = 1 \). 5. **Substitute and Simplify**: - Now substituting the values into the formula: \[ P(X = 0) = 1 \cdot (0.05)^0 \cdot (0.95)^{5} = 1 \cdot 1 \cdot (0.95)^{5} = (0.95)^{5} \] 6. **Calculate \( (0.95)^{5} \)**: - Now we compute \( (0.95)^{5} \): \[ (0.95)^{5} = 0.77378125 \] - Rounding this, we get approximately \( 0.7738 \). 7. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the probability that none of the 5 bulbs will fuse after 150 days of use is approximately: \[ P(X = 0) \approx 0.7738 \]
