There are 5% defective items in a large bulk of items. What is the probability that a sample of 10 items will include not more than one defective item?

उत्तर
Let X = number of defective items
p = probability of defective item
∴ p = 5% = `5/100 = 1/20`
and q = 1 – p = `1 - 1/20 = 19/20`
∴ `X ~ B (10, 1/20)`
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = `"^nC_x p^x q^(n - x)`
i.e. p(x) = `"^10C_x (1/20)^x (19/20)^(10 - x)`, x = 0, 1, 2, ..., 10
P(sample of 10 items will include not more than one defective item) = P[X ≤ 1]
= P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)
= `""^10C_0 (1/20)^0(19/20)^(10 - 0) + "^10C_1 (1/20)^1 (19/20)^(10 - 1)`
= `1*1*(19/20)^10 + 10 xx (1/20) xx (19/20)^9`
= `(19/20)^9 [19/20 + 10/20]`
= `(19/20)^9 (29/20)`
= `29(19^9/20^10)`
Hence, the probability that a sample of 10 items will include not more than one defective item = `29 (19^9/20^10)`.
