उत्तर
Let p to the probability of having newspaper reading habit
p = `40/100 = 2/5`
q = 1 – p
= `1 2/5`
= `(5 - 2)/5`
= `3/5` and n = 9
In the binomial distribution p(x = 4) = ncx pxqn-r
The binomial distribution P(x) = `9"C"_x (2/5)^x (3/5)^(9 - x)`
P(none of those selected have newspaper reading
= P(X = 0)
= `9"C"_0 (2/5)^0 (3/5)^(9 - 0)`
= `(1)(1)(3/5)^9`
= `3^9/5^9`
= `(27 xx 27 xx 27)/(125 xx 125 xx 125)`
= `21141/1953125`
= 0.0108
