Three screws are drawn at random from a lot of 50 screws containing 5 defective ones. Then the probability of the event that all 3 screws drawn are non-defective, assuming that the drawing is (a) with replacement (b) without replacement respectively is

  1. A \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3, \frac{1419}{1960}\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^2, \frac{1418}{1961}\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^2, \frac{1419}{1960}\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3, \frac{1418}{1961}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3, \frac{1419}{1960}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given total screws \(=50\) defective screws \(=5\) and non-defective screws \(=45\) Let \(\mathrm{A}\) be the event of getting drawing of 3 screws are not defective. (a) with replacement, \(P(A)=\left(\frac{{ }^{45} C_1}{{ }^{50} C_1}\right)^3=\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^3\) (b)…
