One out of 9 ships is likely to sink, when they are set on sail. When 6 ships are set on sail, the probability that exactly 3 of them will not arrive safely is

  1. A \(1-\frac{1}{9^6}\)
  2. B \({ }^6 \mathrm{C}_3 \frac{8^3}{9^6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{25 \times 8^3}{9^5}\)
  4. D \({ }^6 \mathrm{C}_3 \frac{8}{9^6}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \({ }^6 \mathrm{C}_3 \frac{8^3}{9^6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(p=\frac{1}{9} \Rightarrow q=1-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{8}{9}\) When out of 6 ships exactly 3 will not arrive safely then 3 will arrive safely. So, the required probability is…
