The probability that a bulb produced by ...

The probability that a bulb produced by a factory will fuse after 150 days if used is 0.05. what is the probability that out of 5 such bulbs none will fuse after 150 days of use? a.`1-(19/20)^5` b. `(19/20)^5` c. `(3/4)^5` d. `90(1/4)^5`

A

`1-(19//20)^(5)`

B

`(19//20)^(5)`

C

`(3//4)^(5)`

D

`90(1//4)^(5)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Here `p=19//20,q=1//20,n=5,r=5.` The required probability is
`=""^(5)C_(3)((19)/(20))^(5)((1)/(20))^(0)=((19)/(20))^(5)`
