If the probability that a student selected at random from a particular college is good at mathematics is 0.6 , then the probability of having two students who are good at mathematics in a group of 8 students of that college standing in front of the college is

  1. A \(\frac{2^6 \times 3^2 \times 7}{5^8}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2^6 \times 3^2 \times 7}{5^6}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2^8 \times 3^2 \times 7}{5^6}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2^8 \times 3^2 \times 7}{5^8}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{2^8 \times 3^2 \times 7}{5^8}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(p=0.6, q=0.4, n=8\) \(\begin{aligned} & P(X=2)={ }^8 C_2 \times(0.6)^2 \times(0.4)^6 \\ & =\frac{8 \times 7}{2} \times \frac{3^2}{5^2} \times \frac{2^6}{5^6}=\frac{2^8 \times 3^2 \times 7}{5^8}\end{aligned}\)
