  1. A \(14(0.9)^5\)
  2. B \(1.4(0.9)^5\)
  3. C \(0.14(0.9)^4\)
  4. D \(1.4(0.9)^4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(1.4(0.9)^4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(p\) denotes the ship departed at \(A\) reached \(B\) safely. Then, \[ \begin{array}{rlrl} & \text { Then, } & p & =\frac{9}{10}=0.9 \\ \therefore & & q=1-p=1-\frac{9}{10}=\frac{1}{10}=0.1 \end{array} \] Let \(X\) denotes the number of ships that departed at \(A\) and…
