Numbers are selected at random, one at a time from two digit numbers \(10,11,12 \ldots ., 99\) with replacement. An event E occurs if and only if the product of the two digits of a selected number is 18 . If four numbers are selected, then probability that the event E occurs at least 3 times is

  1. A \(\frac{87}{90^4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{348}{90^4}\)
  3. C \(87\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^4\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{4}{10}\right)^4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(87\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Event E: Product of the two digits is 18 .
\(\therefore E=\{29,36,63,92\} \)
\(\therefore p=\frac{4}{90} \)
\( \Rightarrow q=1-\frac{4}{90}=\frac{86}{90}\)
Here, \(n=4\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X} \geq 3) =\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=3)+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X}=4) \)
\( ={ }^4 \mathrm{C}_3\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^3\left(\frac{86}{90}\right)^1+{ }^4 \mathrm{C}_4\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^4\left(\frac{86}{90}\right)^0 \)
\( =4\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^3\left(\frac{86}{90}\right)+1\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^4 \)
\( =\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^4(86+1) \)
\( =87\left(\frac{4}{90}\right)^4\)
