उत्तर
Let X = number of terminals which required attention during a week.
p = probability that any terminal will require attention during a week
∴ p = 0.1
and q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9
Given: n = 10
∴ X ~ B (10, 0.1)
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 (0.1)^x (0.9)^(10 - x)`, x = 0, 1, 2,...,10
P(1 terminal will require attention)
P(X = 1) = p(1) = `"^10C_1 (0.1)^1 (0.9)^(10 - 1)`
`= 10(0.1)(0.9)^9`
`= (1.0)(0.9)^9`
`= (0.9)^9`
Hence, the probability that 1 terminal requires attention `= (0.9)^9`

A pair of dice is thrown 3 times. If getting a doublet is considered a success, find the probability of getting at least two success.
Solution:
A pair of dice is thrown 3 times.
∴ n = 3
Let x = number of success (doublets)
p = probability of success (doublets)
∴ p = `square`, q = `square`
∴ x ∼ B (n, p)
P(x) = nCxpx qn–x
Probability of getting at least two success means x ≥ 2.
∴ P(x ≥ 2) = P(x = 2) + P(x = 3)
= `square` + `square`
= `2/27`
If X is a binomial variable with range {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} and P(X = 3) = 3P(X = 4) then the parameter ‘p’ of the binomial distribution is
