Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((0.9)^9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{p}=0.1 ; \mathrm{q}=0.9\) \(\therefore\) The probability of left handed person in a group of 10 people is: \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_1 \mathrm{p}^1 \mathrm{q}^{10-1}=10 \times 0.1 \times(0.9)^9 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=(0.9)^9\end{aligned}\)
