A die is thrown five times. If getting an odd number is a success, then the probability of getting at least 4 successes is
  1. $\frac{13}{16}$
  2. $\frac{5}{32}$
  3. $\frac{1}{32}$
  4. $\frac{3}{16}$

Solution

Here, $n=5, p=\frac{1}{2}, q=\frac{1}{2}$ Probability of getting at least 4 successes $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}=4 \text { or } \mathrm{x}=5)={ }^5 \mathrm{C}_4\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^4\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^1+{ }^5 \mathrm{C}_5\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^5\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\circ} \\ & =5 \times \frac{1}{16} \times \frac{1}{2}+1 \times \frac{1}{32} \times 1 \\ & =\frac{5}{32}+\frac{1}{32} \\ & =\frac{6}{32}=\frac{3}{16}\end{aligned}$
