The probability that a certain kind of component will survive a check test is 0.6. Find the probability that exactly two of the next four components tested will survive.

उत्तर
Let X = number of tested components survive.
p = probability that the component survives the check test
∴ p = 0.6 = `6/10 = 3/5`
∴ q = 1 - p = `1 - 3/5 = 2/5`
Given: n = 4
∴ X ~ B`(4, 3/5)`
The p.m.f. of X is given as:
P[X = x] = `"^nC_x p^x q^(n - x)`
i.e. p(x) = `"^4C_x (3/5)^x (2/5)^(4 - x)`
P (exactly 2 components survive)
= P[X = x] = p(2)
`= "^4C_2 (3/5)^2 (2/5)^(4 - 2)`
`= ((4 xx 3)/(1 xx 2)) xx (3/5)^2 (2/5)^2 = (6 xx 9 xx 4)/625`
`= 216/625`
= 0.3456
Hence, the probability that exactly 2 of the 4 tested components survive is 0.3456.

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`
