Ten bulbs are drawn successively with replacement from a lot containing \(10 \%\) defective bulbs. The probability that there is at least one defective bulb is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1-\left(9^{10} / 10^{10}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

P(defective) \( = 0.1 \) P(not defective) \( = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9 \) P(no defective in 10 draws) \( = (0.9)^{10} = \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)^{10} = \frac{9^{10}}{10^{10}} \) P(at least one defective) \( = 1 - P(\text{no defective in 10 draws}) = 1 - \frac{9^{10}}{10^{10}} \)
