It is observed that \(30 \%\) of the students appearing for a certain entrance test are science students. If 5 students are randomly selected from this group,the probability of having 2 science students among these students is

  1. A \(0.3087\)
  2. B \(0.2547\)
  3. C \(0.1087\)
  4. D \(0.3437\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.3087\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The required probability \(={ }^5 C_2\left(\frac{30}{100}\right)^2 \times\left(\frac{70}{100}\right)^3\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =10 \times \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{3}{10} \times \frac{7}{10} \times \frac{7}{10} \times \frac{7}{10} \\ & =\frac{3087}{10000}=0.3087\end{aligned}\)
