Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{7}{128}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( P(X \ge 8) = P(X=8) + P(X=9) + P(X=10) \) \( P(X=k) = C(10, k) (\frac{1}{2})^{10} \) \( P(X \ge 8) = C(10,8)(\frac{1}{2})^{10} + C(10,9)(\frac{1}{2})^{10} + C(10,10)(\frac{1}{2})^{10} \) \( P(X \ge 8) = (45 + 10 + 1) (\frac{1}{2})^{10} \)…
