Options
- A13 16
- B5 32
- C1 32
- D3 16
Correct answer
D. 3 16
Step-by-step solution
Here, n=5, p= 1 2 , q= 1 2 Probability of getting at least 4 successes aligned & P ( x =4 or x =5)= ^5 C ₄ ( 1 2 )^4 ( 1 2 )^1+ ^5 C ₅ ( 1 2 )^5 ( 1 2 )^ & =5 1 16 1 2 +1 1 32 1 & = 5 32 + 1 32 & = 6 32 = 3 16 aligned
