उत्तर
The repeated selections of articles in a random sample space are Bernoulli trails. Let X denote the number of times of selecting defective articles in a random sample space of 12 articles.
Clearly, X has a binomial distribution with n = 12 and p = 10% = `10/100 = 1/10`
q = 1 - p = `1 - 1/10 = 9/10`
Given: n = 12
∴ X ~ B `(12, 1/10)`
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P[X = x] = `"^nC_x p^x q^(n - x)`
i.e. p(x) = `"^12C_x (1/10)^x (9/10)^(12 - x)`, x = 1, 2, 3,...,12
P(9 defective articles) = P[X = 9]
= p(9) = `"^12C_9 (1/10)^9 (9/10)^(12 - 9)`
`= (12!)/(9! 3!) (1/10)^9 (9/10)^3`
`= (12 xx 11 xx 10 xx 9!)/(9! xx 3 xx 2 xx 1) xx 1/10^9 xx 9^3/10^3`
`= 2 xx 11 xx 10 * 9^3/10^12 = 22 (9^3/10^11)`
Hence, the probability of getting 9 defective articles `=22 (9^3/10^11)`.
