Among every 8 units of a product, one is likely to be defective. If a consumer has ordered 5 units of that product, then the probability that atmost one unit is defective among them is

  1. A \(\frac{15}{8}\left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^6\)
  2. B \(\frac{57}{8^8}\)
  3. C \(\frac{36}{8^5}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(P(\text{defective}) = p = \frac{1}{8}\) \(P(\text{non-defective}) = q = 1 - p = \frac{7}{8}\) \(P(X=k) = C(n, k) p^k q^{n-k}\) \(P(X \le 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)\) \(P(X=0) = C(5, 0) \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)^0 \left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^5 = \left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^5\)…
