If is observed that $25 \%$ of the cases related to child labour reported to the police station are solved. If 6 new cases are reported, then the probability that at least 5 of them will be solved is
  1. $\frac{19}{1024}$
  2. $\frac{19}{4096}$
  3. $\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^6$
  4. $\frac{19}{2048}$

Solution

We have probability of cases getting solved $=25 \%=\frac{1}{4}$ $\mathrm{p}=\frac{1}{4} \Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=\frac{3}{4}$ and we have $\mathrm{n}=6, \mathrm{x}=5,6$ Hence required probability $\begin{aligned} & =\left[{ }^6 \mathrm{C}_5\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^5\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^1\right]+\left[{ }^6 \mathrm{C}_6\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^6\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^0\right] \\ & =\frac{(6)(3)}{(4)^6}+\frac{1}{(4)^6}=\frac{19}{(4)^6}=\frac{19}{4096} \end{aligned}$
