  1. A \(0.0422\)
  2. B \(0.0523\)
  3. C \(0.0535\)
  4. D \(0.0623\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.0523\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\text{detect}) = p = 0.1\) \(P(\text{not detect}) = q = 1 - p = 0.9\) \(n = 4\) \(P(X \ge 2) = 1 - [P(X=0) + P(X=1)]\) \(P(X=0) = \binom{4}{0} (0.1)^0 (0.9)^4 = 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 0.6561 = 0.6561\)…
