From a lot of 10 items containing 3 defectives, a sample of 4 items is drawn at random. Let random variable X denote the number of defective items in the sample. A. $P(X=1)=\frac{1}{6}$ Choose the correct answer from options given below. |
A only A and B only A, B and C only B and C only |
B and C only |
$\text{Total items}=10,\;\text{defectives}=3,\;\text{good}=7.$ $\text{Sample size}=4.$ $P(X=x)=\frac{\frac{3!}{x!(3-x)!}\cdot\frac{7!}{(4-x)!(3+x)!}}{\frac{10!}{4!6!}}.$ $P(X=0)=\frac{\frac{7!}{4!3!}}{\frac{10!}{4!6!}}=\frac{35}{210}=\frac{1}{6}.$ $P(X=1)=\frac{3\cdot\frac{7!}{3!4!}}{\frac{10!}{4!6!}}=\frac{105}{210}=\frac{1}{2}.$ $P(X=2)=\frac{3\cdot\frac{7!}{2!5!}}{\frac{10!}{4!6!}}=\frac{63}{210}=\frac{3}{10}.$ $P(X=3)=\frac{\frac{7!}{1!6!}}{\frac{10!}{4!6!}}=\frac{7}{210}=\frac{1}{30}.$ $(A)\;P(X=1)=\frac{1}{2}\neq\frac{1}{6}\;\text{False}.$ $(B)\;P(X\le1)=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2}{3}\;\text{True}.$ $(C)\;P(0<\text{ X }<2)=P(X=1)=\frac{1}{2}\;\text{True}.$ $(D)\;P(X>1)=\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{3}\neq\frac{1}{30}\;\text{False}.$ $\text{Correct statements: (B) and (C).}$ |
