The correct Answer is:
To find the probability that at least one out of five bulbs will fuse after 150 days of use, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the probabilities Let \( P \) be the probability that a bulb will fuse after 150 days, which is given as: \[ P = 0.05 \] Then, the probability that a bulb will not fuse is: \[ Q = 1 - P = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95 \] ### Step 2: Find the probability that none of the bulbs fuse To find the probability that none of the 5 bulbs fuse, we can use the formula for the probability of none occurring in a binomial distribution: \[ P(X = 0) = Q^n \] where \( n = 5 \) (the number of bulbs). Thus, \[ P(X = 0) = 0.95^5 \] Calculating this: \[ P(X = 0) = 0.95^5 = 0.77378 \] (approximately) ### Step 3: Find the probability that at least one bulb fuses The probability that at least one bulb fuses is the complement of the probability that none fuse: \[ P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) \] Substituting the value we found: \[ P(X \geq 1) = 1 - 0.77378 \] \[ P(X \geq 1) = 0.22622 \] (approximately) ### Final Answer Thus, the probability that at least one out of five bulbs will fuse after 150 days of use is approximately: \[ \boxed{0.22622} \]
