In a box containing 100 bulbs, 10 are defective. The probability that out of a sample of 5 bulbs, none is defective is:

  1. A \(\frac{1}{10}\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^5\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^5\)
  4. D \(\frac{9}{10}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Non-defective bulbs: \( 100 - 10 = 90 \) Probability of selecting one non-defective bulb: \( P(\text{non-defective}) = \frac{90}{100} = \frac{9}{10} \) Probability that out of a sample of 5 bulbs, none is defective: \( \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^5 \)
