A lot of 100 bulbs contains 10 defective bulbs. Five bulbs are selected at random from the lot and are sent to retail store. Then the probability that the store will receive at most one defective bulb is

Step-by-step solution

Let X denote the number of defective bulbs. p = Probability that a bulb is defective aligned & = 10 100 = 1 10 & q=1-p=1- 1 10 = 9 10 & P(X=r)= ^5 C_r ( 1 10 )^r ( 9 10 )^ 5-r , r=0,1, , 5 aligned aligned & P(X 1) & =P(X=0)+P(X=1) & = ^5 C₀ ( 1 10 )^0 ( 9 10 )^5+ ^5 C₁ ( 1 10 )^1 ( 9 10 )^4 & = ( 9 10 )^5+5 1 10 ( 9 10 )^4 & = 7 5 ( 9 10 )^4 aligned
