A bag contains books numbered 1 to 20 . Three books are drawn from the bag with replacement. The probability that largest number on the book is 7 .
Options
- A2 17
- B1 20
- C1- ( 7 20 )^3
- D( 7 20 )^3- ( 6 20 )^3
Correct answer
D. ( 7 20 )^3- ( 6 20 )^3
Step-by-step solution
The total probability of selecting 3 books and whose page number is less than or equal to 7 is ( 7 20 )^3 . Total probability of selecting 3 books whose page number is less than 7 is ( 6 20 )^3 . Requiried probability = ( 7 20 )^3- ( 6 20 )^3 Hence, option (4) is correct.
